cannot wield -twohand weapon with empty offhand

Description
==========
Wanted to use parry with Katana, but found that Two Handed mode may not properly disengage on -twohand command use with a katana equipped. Unknown if the behavior persists with other weapons.

Steps to reproduce
----------------------------
As a 19 Swashbuckler, with Fighter and Weaponmaster levels, equip a Katana and look for parry AC change on using -twohand or a macro key command for -twohand.

Expected result
-----------------------
To see a +6 AC difference with -twohand off, and a 6 less than that when -twohand is on.

Actual result
-------------------
No change. -twohand command seems not to work at all, Katana acts as a two-handed weapon for all intents except +AB when wielding with an empty offhand and acts as a one-hand weapon only when something else is present in the off hand.

Screenshot(s)
--------------------

Annotated breakdown screenshots of the situation, expected AC and damage changes, evidence they did not, including proof that parry AC does work with a one-hander that cannot work with the -twohand command, including combat log of each event.

Misc Notes
----------------
Screenshot strength bonus was 12, full 2handed damage therefore 18, +6 from epic weapon specialization for 1-10+24

Which Server(s)?
------------------------
Surface, Guldorand and Cities and Planes.

Gaming Platform(s)?
------------------------------
PC

Intentional, and documented on the wiki. Not a bug.
