Really? Okay now it gets even weirder, because you CAN scribe Wish. In all due fairness I consider diviners the most capable of handling the powers of a wish. After all wisdom is their secondary attribute with a value of at least +16. The training they have also makes them more capable at forseeing the consequences of the wish wording.
Perhaps two schools can mean one or the other. That is it can either need power from both schools (and thus become exclusive to specialists) or it can be channeled through one of the schools of choice.
To me Wish is alteration/invocation magic. I really don't see any summoning in it. Yes, you have to comunicate with a djinn the way it is portraited in BG2, but does it really have to be present at your location? After all we are talking about the supreme non-dweomer spell. I will gladly acknowlegde limited wish as a "genie in a bottle" wish with a true summoning component.

After all this confusing yappe-di-yap I guess the conclusion is that there is no bug after all. My pardons.
