Smart little buggers! It seems there should have been something there for the facehuggers to be attracted to- presumably the Bishop-era synthetics were realistic enough on the outside (real flesh) as to necessitate an underlying metabolism (with similar nutrient mechanisms and processes to humans) to support that external physicality. I don't get why the facehuggers would see that as any less hospitable as a host. Alas, it's all a made up story, so I suppose the creators can make up any rule they like as they go along...
Imagine what kind of bizarreness could spawn if a facehugger met a T-rex or velociraptor?
