Yeah I'd be really surprised if these were actual errors that nobody caught since Martial Arts.

I noticed the rondel dagger and stiletto as well but I can accept that as a a bonus thrown in with fencing parry in their case. It's sort of odd that the rondel has it at all though. I would have thought it would be one that could have a 0 parry.

Unfortunately GURPS weapon entries have had a tendency to lean towards ease to use rather than a scrupulous and iron seperation between the nature of a weapon and what a skill gives you. It's made notable improvements over time though.
