Yes protection from undead scrolls are great in the game, but only because they are buggy.
Protection from undead scrolls, by their definition, are suppose to protect you from the physical attacks of undead and related powers (life draining, disease, etc) but its not suppose to protect you from their magical abilities.
The way the scrolls work is that the undead creatures don't even see a character who is protected from undead, so even their spells can't target you, because THEY CAN"T SEE YOU. Thus the undead won't attack, they won't talk to you, they won't cast at you, etc.
So if they worked properly, a lich would still be able to see you and cast spells at you, but couldn't attack you physically. A vampire could see you but really couldn't do anything unless it had spell casting abilities.
They couldn't adjust the scrolls to do this, so they just made undead not notice you. Thus you gain GREAT benefits against all undead.
