this isnt true. lots of necromancer threads suggest you spellstitch animate dead.
i looked it up, the la:- is the ghast so that doesnt count.
but the template doesnt have a la entry. does that default to - or 0? if it defaults to - your right but if not your not.
i mean you can stitch yourself. its in the description. any undead sorcerer can stitch himself. theres a money and xp cost. i think its totally intended for pcs to use.
assuming its la 0.
how about necropolitan?
necropolitan->spellstitched->some kind of resurrection spell that turns you back to nonundead. is spellstitched lost?

according to this thread no la means no modification to la.
