When using deathless master touch on a reanimated monster, it attacks and heals it, instead of trying to control it.
Controlling undead works fine on undead that aren't reanimated.
Tested on a reanimated shaggy beast in the underdark.

One of the conditions for controlling undead is that they must be hostile; non-hostile undead are instead healed.
This is more a quirk of its requirements than a bug, I think.
Don't click weird links, kiddos.

Ha! I have succesfully captured a reanimated undead creature with deathless master touch using the secret one-stab one-touch technique 
, thank you very much Iceborn.
