Some of the more vigilant sim instructors will pay close attention during V1 cuts etc, with a hand ready on the "flight freeze" button. Much easier to reposition after a flight freeze and debrief, rather than having to do a complete reset after the hydraulics come crashing down.

Simulators are smarter than that. If your simulator behaves that way, the software needs to be improved, period. Why would the sim 'exceed the proper operating positions for the hydraulic supports'?
I've had trouble with the motion on the sim, and software problems on the sim, though. It's usually due to a software problem or a hydraulic leak.
