They do work as support units (if someone next to them are attacked, then once per turn they'll swarm over and counter-attack), so their support perk is definitely working.

I've forwarded this internally to verify whether it's WAD or not. Thanks for the report. =)

Ok, I was wondering because I thought that only units with ranged attacks can be support units. But if there are support melee units too it would be great.
 
It's a benefit to the undead race.

Skeletons are both resistant to missile attacks and can swarm, even the melee units.

If they didn't have that, they'd be really easy to wipe out in the early game.
