I found that to be a fascinating question. I'm going back and forth on it, so i wanted to get your take. Here are the pluses and minuses I see with it:
1). What if enough people submit them, so I can;t tell which ones have how many people? Suppose I got six submissions with three combination of class/race each, but the same combo was duplicated among all of them. How do I choose which one gets it? Do any?
2). Does this skirt around the "Don't work in tandem with others" to make your class/race rules?
3). It does help to provide a wider range of class/race, which should be good for the game and the party mechanic that I want to try out.
So, thoughts?

Are the Prestige scrolls class based? If they are, this player would have the advantage as he likely will be the only representative of that class and thus the only one who can use that particular Prestige item. That's one of the reasons why I went Artificer in the first game-I thought it would be one of the least likely to be chosen. If the Prestige items are not class based then I don't see this as a problem. Gives you the chance to get a class in there if you have a number of people picking a certain class and need some party balance.
If you have a lot of people doing this and get duplication, set a quota and a "first come, first get" rule-you then move on to their other choices to determine which one they get-or ask them to submit again if need be.
