I'm sure the players will learn from the encounter and their next group of PCs will each take the Staff spell.

I'd say that the text is a little odd when it says fire does half damage right before saying that only magical weapons and attacks do damage. And then it adds that unarmed attacks do damage.
So, I think there are four ways to damage a bog mummy.
(*) Fire
(*) Magical weapons
(*) Magical attacks
(*) Unarmed hits
I don't think the Staff spell for heroes is an appropriate response to this critter unless the campaign features a major infestation of the beasts.
Since new bog mummies come from dead people, you could say that they retain a bit of the memory of language from their earlier lives and have a natural instinct to ambush despite having no real intelligence. Still, it's a bit odd.
