Can a dragon flame you, or hit you at all, when he stands right next to you
while you are standing on a scare monster scroll?

It seems to me that the only games when I ever got more than one scare monster
scroll was when I successfully identified it without reading it.  Is it the
case that reading a (presumably unidentified) scare monster scroll will ensure
that you won't find another for the rest of the game?

	A dragon will flame at you while you are standing on a "scare monster"
	scroll.  It will not attempt to hit you, however; a "hit" is an attempt
	to move onto your square, and monsters will not attempt to move
	onto a "scare monster" scroll.

	Having one unidentified "scare monster" scroll does not prevent you
	from finding another; however, these scrolls are very rare, usually
	one per game, so the circumstance you describe sounds like coincidence
	more than anything else.
