Where do you think that Eliezer's body language is described as remarkably odd? If you mean "He wore glasses, had a short, dark beard, and his heavy body seemed slightly alien to him.", I'm not sure.
It might be a reference to the way Eliezer talks about his body and ideas about cryonics that only the brain matters.
The "slightly alien" thing and this:
I'm not sure to what extend that's something typical for Eliezer as I never meet him in person. If it is, it's a sign that normal emotional regulation is off. But then various people in this community aren't neurotypical.
You can (or could) watch EY debating (e.g. w/ that presumptuous jaron lanier guy) over videoconference and like many less-polished speakers he has some visible tics while searching for a thought or turn of phrase while feeling under the gun + not wanting to lose his turn to speak.
