Shouldn't be removed with a lesser restoration. It's a level 5 arcane spell that lasts only one round per level. Being able to negate a spell of this caliber with an easily found potion or trinket trivializes it greatly.

I could agree with this

Valo56

I think it should also apply move speed and significant reflex penalties, as well.

So people cant run or climb away for a minute until it wears off?

Maybe lesser restoration can make a dispel check against the hand instead of the above suggestion, so that casters casting (any) restoration spell have a better chance at removing it than a potion would, in lieu of using dispel itself to get rid of the hand (that would potentially remove multiple beneficial effects)

This spell has very niche application currently which feels more like abusing the AI (by casting it on intelligent NPCs that should have means of lesser restoration at hand, but they won't resort to it). Making the effect supernatural (hence not restorable) and cutting the duration in half would be a fair balancing act, in my books.

A bit odd for some random ftr to magically know lesser restore cures this magical hand, I do like Pent's idea if possible.

Making the spell a supernatural effect does not solve the presented suggestion. See the writeup for Lesser Restoration if in doubt: http://nwn.wikia.com/wiki/Lesser_restoration

If one was to make exceptions to the spell itself, there are other more important ones to prioritize first. For example barbarian rage. It would likely instead be better to adjust the restoration line of spells. Either way I do not think anything will be done to adjust the spell's behavior here.
