When something like that happens, and it's discovered that it's pilot error, do organizations typically sever ties with the pilot or do they let them continue to fly? What has happened in the past?

No. The pilot for the accident in the first aircraft (the second restoration was a different aircraft, albeit using parts from the first) was actually prosecuted afterwards and convicted. I'll check the details and confirm them. I don't know the details of the pilot in the second accident's status currently.
