[1.4.8] Lost Staff of Tarelion command staff appears bugged?

[Dracos]

So, a bit blurry since this has an outrageously low drop rate so tested how I can:
Staff from vault - Command Staff pulls up "[Exotic]" menu, which gives 4 options...all of which bug the item a bit and cause its damage stats to double, but doesn't change the effect.
Staff from Dev mode cheat on new character - Command Staff pulls up "[Mage]", which gives 4 options, all of which do nothing.
What it used to do:
Give the standard 3 options, allowing switching the whole set of 4 elements together. So it was possible to have Physical Staff or Vile staff.

Certainly the vault one can be screwy based on vault stuff, but it looks like something is screwy with the staff even new. I mean if Command Staff won't have any effect, why is it even showing up?

Suspicion: Something changed in the callback function for command staff?

Possibly intentional limit to block it from being omega-staff (if so though, command staff should probably get removed as its weird), but seems like a bug. Kinda sad since it is vanishingly rare.
