I was fighting Amalgamation of Dreams on a paladin and used Blessing of Protection to temporarily avoid damage. However, I was still killed with the buff up and my death recap said it was from Attack (“starts combat by attacking a target with a melee weapon”). Details said I gained BoP about 0.8 before I died, so seems like I should have been immune to that. Either the spell should be recategorized or looked into why it can bypass a melee attack immunity.
Would need to see the combat log, but its possible for its base attack to be nature school, which would bypass bop.
Details reported it as melee as well, so I have to assume something is off.
Again, it being melee doesn’t really matter if that melee swing is not classified as a physical attack. Using a similar 72 elite rare from emerald dream, its base “melee” attacks deal shadow damage and are likely classified as magic, and not physical. This would cause them to bypass blessing of protection.

There was no mention of a spell school associated with those melee attacks in the logs, but I understand your point.
Hence why I said I would need to see what the combat log itself said, and not details. Addon can fuddle some of the finer details
