While tanking VG as a chrono, my healer noticed that his heals were prioritizing my phantasmal defender and other such clones over me sometimes. In fact, his combat log showed my clones would get more regen and healing than me during the fight. We couldn’t easily replicate it happening, and I wasn’t sure if the phantasmal defender being spawned (from the trait mental defense) was being healed because it would’ve instantly taken some dmg upon being summoned or what. In any case, I expected that the mesmer would be prioritized for heals (or rather that clones would be lower than player characters).

Players are prioritized over phantasms in general, however the heal used may have not found the player a valid target for other reasons, which could allow the phantasm to become a more viable target.
