Well, yes and no.

ALL Bioware is ABSORBED into the body in cases like this. What happens,
I think, is kinda like this...

*Regenerative antibodies (or whatever) are putzing along through the
body. "Dum de dum de dum." They bump into cyber. "Wait a minute. What's
this? It shouldn't be here." The antibodies try to chow down, but - it's
metal and plastic, so they can't deal with in. So they decide to push it
out of the body. After all, they can regenerate any damage caused by the
rejection, can't they?

The antibodies continue to putz along and find some bioware.
"Mmmm...living tissue. But...it's wrong. This piece of tissue should
look like this, not like that. Let's regenerate it so it's right." So
the regeneration antibodies/power/whatever reconfigures the bioware
until it's right - i.e. until it is exactly the way God'n'nature meant
it to be.*

Simplistic, I know, but I think that's the logic behind it. Cyber can't
be 'regenerated' into living tissue, but bioware can. So cyber is
rejected and bioware is absorbed.

*Doc' concentrates hard, attempting to regenerate his left leg into a
four foot long penis. "Useless thing!"*
