I was almost positive that I was able to boost low level pet max hits with 2-handed rusty weapons, so that was the only type I tried giving him. And I'm "almost" positive that it made him hit for less rather than harder - whereas the enchanter pet, given the same rusty weapon, hit harder than it was without it.
Like the guy above me, I have no hard evidence. But I'll be happy to parse the scenario one of these days with my buddy to show it, if that is indeed a bug.
