I'm going to post what I did over at Crystalline's discussion of this.
I don't believe that they are removing memories of people at all. My speculation (and all of this post is just speculation but who knows!) it was not anything to do with the non-timewarper's character that made them forget anything. It is the event itself. Those who were teleported were taken from this plane to another, then put back. What was done to THEM, not your character, likely is what is affecting peoples' memories of them. Again, speculation.
More speculation incoming. Just because you do not recognize or place a name to a face when you meet them again, does not mean that they have forgotten the original person.
Let me explain kind of what I'm think of all this.
Isilme's father went to the battle. She remembers her father. When he meets her again, she will not recognize his face as her father's, nor his name as her father's. That doesn't mean she's forgotten her father. He will feel familiar to her, however. Depending on the character, she may brush it off as a feeling of deja vu.. or latch onto this familiarity as something significant, and listen to him when he tells her he is her father. Because she hasn't forgotten her father, if he tells her something from her childhood that only he knows.. perhaps she will believe him and 'recognize' him again.
That's how things seem to me so far. Sans Echo-havers, though, they have no problems. XD
