I think we are intended to take that as a typo, but it is worth noting that the main-gauche has a big range of treatments when you look across the old and new rules. In the original melee it had a -2 DX adjustment when used as a shield! In the original Advanced Melee, the table lists a -2 DX adjustment but the text says its -1 when used as a shield. As far as I can tell, no DX adjustment is mentioned in the new Melee, and it isn't mentioned in the text of the new ITL, but does appear as an adjustment (apparently +1!) in the ITL weapon table. It's all a bit confusing and should definitely be subject to an official errata
