The only thing I have seen that implies this is not the case is the fact
that no magical stat bonuses apply to an astrally projecting magician. His
meat body still has the Quickened spells affecting it, but his astral form
doesn't get the bonuses. To me this implies that if an ally with such
Quickened spells were to go completely astral, then the spells would simply
cease to function (whether they came back next time the ally manifested or
not is another question).
