That's just the BG2-implementation of 2nd Edition AD&D-rules. In normal PnP, even in 2nd E, Specialty Priests of certain dieties were allowed certain weapons out of the normal Cleric's range of blunt objects. For example, Priests of Eilistrae could use longswords. I'm not sure about the special allowances of a Priest of Helm, but it wouldn't surprise me if some types of sword were among them.
