No, they don't get the Two weapon talent, they get it with a limitation. And they can buy the talent for real if they want to use it with two sabers.
The problem is the wording referring to how it was taught historically, so if you want to change what was historically available to fencers in your world, that would be fine and still RAW or at least RAI.
There is also the game balance issue of Sabers being a better weapon than a rapier. 1 higher ST, but 1.5 higher damage, and a greater spread with the 2d-2. And cost-wise it is pretty good too, compared to a rapier. This is important if you consider master-crafted weapon costs.
