By the time page.tpl.php is called, the $scripts variable has already
been defined, so using drupal_add_js won't work at that level. You can
either fix it the way you've already done, or redefine the $scripts
variable in your template.php file. Something along the lines of:

in _phptemplate_variables() function:
drupal_add_js(...new js...);
$vars['scripts'] = drupal_get_js();

or top level, outside of any functions:
drupal_add_js(...new js...);

This second method works since the template.php script is included
before the $scripts variable is defined...

Cheers,
Jonathan
