I agree and don't see how there is any room for intepretation in the way language rules were written in old ITL or in the way Literacy was EXPLICITLY defined:

LITERACY (1): Ability to *read and write* all the languages *that you know*. An illiterate figure can't read or draw any but the simplest maps, and an illiterate wizard can't use scrolls or magic books! This talent costs only 1 IQ point for either a hero or a wizard.

From a narrative perspective, when a PC decides to become literate he will endeavor to become literate in all of the languages he already knows. Afterward, when he learns a new language (spoken) he will also endeavor to become literate in that language.
