Wizard with wand nerfed OR errata

This doesn't seem correct to me:

DFA40: Wizard template gives two options—Staff: Staff[8] OR Wand and Buckler: Shield (Buckler) [4] and Smallsword [4]
DFA118: a Wizard's Wand is a Baton, $50, 1 lb.
DFA102: Smallsword-skill weapons — Baton is NOT listed.
DFA101: Shortsword-skill weapons — Baton is listed.

So, Wizards that choose the wand & buckler option end up with a baton they can not wield effectively as a weapon.

Solutions? Or, is this the intent of the rules as written?
