Just for completeness, Alan (Absor) made some posts in Dec 2000 about the 59 spec pet, which I would take as confirmation that it was intended to dual wield:

Spectres come with a big ol' two-handed scythe… Yet somehow they will still be dual wielding. Don't ask me how…

Some questions on level 59 Necro pet relating to recent pet code enhancement.
Recently pets were enhanced with regards to their ability to dual wield. All pets of sufficient level will now dual wield upon being summoned, whereas before they required two weapons to do so. I am curious about how this enhancement will affect the level 59 Necro pet.

Actually, I did answer this one, but I'm sure it got buried in all the hoopla.
The spectre will dual wield.

On the balance I'd say this throws some cold water on theories that it triple attacked with a 2h. Dual wielding with a low double-attack skill (maybe as low as 150) seems like the most likely explanation.
