It does. Now if you want something weird, Steam Jet does 1d-1 'scalding' damage (presumably burning that doesn't set fires) per point, does knockback, blinds on face hits, etc. and does double damage to creatures of fire or ice.

So being very hot water means it does more damage to very hot things. Actually, steam of the sort of pressure that would cause knockback would be doing cutting damage, not burn damage unless quite diffuse (but then it wouldn't penetrate heavy clothing, let alone armour). OTOH, this is no more weird than the way magical lightning works.
