I think that there is 3 option in case of incomplete information.

  1. Do not resurrect at all.
  2. Resurrect one individual, filling gaps with random quantum noise.
  3. Resurrect all possible individuals with all combinations of noise.

I suggest to choose variant 2. In this case everybody is happy. The subject is almost exactly resurrected in one of the universes. Each universe get a person which corresponds its conditions and do not get useless semi-copies of the subject.
