Quarterstaff has +2 AB from twohandedness

Simple enough to replicate - just go on live server or PGCC (they BOTH have this problem, I checked, it's not PGCC-only), build new ranger, equip quarterstaff.
You will get the message in your combat log about getting +2 AB for equipping a large weapon, and if you do the math you will see that yes, your attack bonus is in fact 2 higher than it should be. It is not a character sheet glitch, it occurs in combat, it is real. You really get +2 AB for wielding a quarterstaff on live servers and PGCC both.
I don't know if this is intentional but I think it isn't, so here are screenshots:

Build in question had Weapon Focus. He should have been getting:
3 (ranger BAB)
4 (DEX)
1 (weapon focus)
-2 (dual wielding)

But, alas, I was getting 8.
