I thought the same thing the first time I tried dehydrating peppers.  Seeds
from chile peppers dried in a dehydrator will usually not be viable.  There's
life in those seeds and they just can't take the heat.  I don't know the
specific conditions (temperature, exposure time) beyond which the seeds will be
destroyed, but there are dehydrators with a temperature control.  So it may be
possible to dry peppers in one of these dehydrators at lower temperature and
still have viable seeds.
