In fact Scope-increase is unused (and apart from spam/experiments never was)...
Scope-increase description:
Used in the context of sprints to mark tasks which were not selected at the sprint planning meeting but were added due to some emergency, unexpected dependency etc.
It provides a metric of how well the Scrum methodology works for a team and helps to keep track of the number of story points a team is able to do in a sprint according to plan.
Unplanned-Sprint-Work description:
Allows teams to track any work that enters a sprint after it begins.
(emphasis by me)
IMO the emphasized parts represent the same thing.
