The avatars should have resistance to memory manipulation. Once you become a fully realised avatar, the previous avatars are able to contact you and help you jostle your memory if you get amnesia. This happened to Korra during the Beginnings two-parter. During this time, Korra was lowered into spirit water to help rid her body of dark energy that was invading her soul. A possible refutation of this resistance is that it was the water that caused the spirits to appear, not some innate avatar physiology. Well, she was already starting to get into contact with her past lives before she was lowered into the water, and what the shaman says indicates that the process took place to cleanse her soul; it had nothing to do with regaining her memory.
In addition, all avatars should be resistant to mind manipulation. In the latest Avatar book, The Legacy of Yangchen, Yangchen gets up in the Fog of Lost Souls, a spiritually-sapping place that torments you with your biggest regrets in life for eternity. Yangchen is resistant to the effects of the fog, with the text making it clear that this is because of the many lives inside her.
