I found only one relevant discussion where consensus was that "old" commands remain in effect, even during pfe but honestly I'm not convinced. I agree that the compulsion is in place continuously but is it really control?... So poorly defined...
A different aspect that may shed some light: what happens if the caster gets unconscious? Broken? Suppressed until regains consciousness? Or stays in place? (Considering that the average human caster has to sleep between two days of control I can imagine..)
DP may be poorly defined but it is specifically mentioned in the Protection from Evil spell as an effect that is suppressed by the spell.
As for what happens if the caster goes unconscious, I believe it's written somewhere that only spells that are concentration are dispelled. I know that's how I've always judged such situations. Since it's 1 day per level (nasty spell), Torin is screwed unless someone casts a PfE on him which will only last for as long as the PfE's duration or a successful dispel magic.
