Let's just go whole-ham with the theories here. Undead (the conventional sort) are corpses possessed by voidsent (I think!) and are much just animated dead.
The mages in Lost City, though, aren't the shambly corpse people. They're more like unlife, really: Empty vessels driven to movement and thought instead of being filled with another thing possessing them. Motor functions return, but the spark of life is out.
I can't articulate this well.
