Page 36 says a thief does NOT add intelligence or personality modifiers to DC check for casting spells from scrolls. While table 1-9 on page 38 has a footnote says a thief's intelligence modifier modifies checks for this skill?
Seems like it's not too much of an advantage to allow the the bonus.

My page 36 doesn't state that. Perhaps I have a newer edition?
Also -- the errata here states that theives do add their INT modifier.

I would allow it otherwise what use is a D10 when you usually need 12+ ?
I would allow it for any character; not just the Thief for the same reason

Absolutely!
At least doing it this way opens the way for the foolish fighter to take the dangerous step of casting from a scroll and that would be a right giggle
