I think you needs quotes around "myscope" - the dhcp-options man page 
defines this option as:

      option slp-service-scope boolean text;

then a bit further back it says:

      The text data type specifies an NVT ASCII string, which must
      be  enclosed  in  double  quotes

So I think it should be

     option slp-service-scope true "myscope";

but perhaps still a bug if incorrectly parsing it causes a cpu bound loop.
