the reason your merc will display with zero life is because d2 keeps track of fractional hp and your merc probably had somewhere between 0 and 1 life. the merc screen doesn't round life less than 1 to 1 the same way the character screen does.
another possibility is that the server sends hp of monsters to the client in percentages, not exact numbers, and anything less than 1% is sent as 0%.
