I always thought they were very weak and near useless.
By the time you reach the point when you find monsters with very high PV, most of your melee damage will come from Strength, weapon skill and other bonuses, rather than the weapon's damage dice. So bugged or not, it was always a good tradeoff.

A few scrolls of increase melee damage will already boost them to 1d4+9
