I never imagined the Space Jockeys to be anything other than what they were shown to be in Alien. I'll bet, back in the day, that Scott didn't either.
I'm guessing Scott didn't give it too much thought at the time. But so what? is that supposed to be a strike against either film?
Not necessarily - I haven't seen Prometheus, so I can't say anything for certain about it - but making the Space Jockeys some generic Star Trek race doesn't seem very inspired to me.
