"Wording can be important, and undead creating more undead is a well established story feature."

Excepting that you have to learn, when reading this setting, to not take everything literally. KC himself has said, before, that he uses a lot of hyperbole. Beyond that, translators sometimes mistranslate. If something looks iffy, you're best off falling back on traditional MGE logic. Namely mamono don't kill except in defense of life and love; and all mamono weapons are made of demon realm silver, which isn't capable of killing.

Oh, and all the profile states is that they turn women into yokai; not specifically into undead. Yokai is the name typically used to refer to Zipangu mamono, as they're based on Japanese spirits. The setting holds that if a woman is drained of spirit energy in a demon realm, she'll be transformed into whatever type of mamono has the most free-floating demonic energy in that demon realm.

EDIT: Oh, and to top off the "wording" question - You also have to remember that in-universe, this is all written by the Wandering Scholar, who sometimes only has second-hand information to work with. If he gets information directly from a mamono, it's often not much. That is, again, stated by KC. So the Wandering Scholar's information is fallible, on top of everything else.
