Divergences in scalar QED are due to the behaviour of the eigenfunctions of the scalar d'Alembertian near the singularity but in a somehow unexpected way.

Near the singularity $u = 0$ in lightcone coordinates almost all eigenfunctions behave as $\frac{1}{\sqrt{\abs{u}}} e^{i \frac{\cA}{u}}$ with $\cA \neq 0$.

The product of $N$ eigenfunctions gives a singularity $\abs{u}^{-N/2}$ which is technically not integrable.

However the exponential term $e^{i \frac{\cA}{u}}$ allows for an interpretation as distribution when $\cA = 0$ is not an isolated point.
