Nifty.
Assuming you also have TotL installed, the answer is yes, summons do also get tougher in HoF mode. However, their combat bonuses are lower than that of their equivalent enemy counterpart.

So an enemy Skeleton Archer will have more HP than your summoned Skeleton Archer.

The combat bonuses to your summons is still VERY substantial though, and you will come to appreciate them in HoF. In fact, in the early stages of the game, do not be surprised if your summons kill more enemies than your actual party members.

In the later stages of the game though, summons will mostly be relegated to the "HIT ME INSTEAD OF HIM!" roles, as their attacks are all unenchanted... They still serve a vital role as distractions, and help split up the enemies' attacks so that it is not focused on one target.
