That may have something to do with it - it shouldn't, but who knows.
Since it's got a whole bunch of new dialogue, Ascension comes with a new dialog.tlk file (which is where all text in the game is stored, including item descriptions). So if you've got mods installed that have modified or replaced your dialog.tlk files funny things can happen. Try uninstalling it and seeing what happens.
This is what you should have seen as a description:
Sarevok's Sword of Chaos
The blade of Sarevok, brother of , used in the battle they fought in faraway Baldur's Gate. prevailed, destroying Sarevok's plans and rescuing the Sword Coast from the brink of war. Now Sarevok has joined with 's cause and his blade has been restored to him. Sarevok describes the weapon as a Deathbringer blade and has restored some of the weapon's old power. Without his Bhaalspawn essence to channel through the sword, however, it cannot achieve the power it once had. Still, however, it is a formidable weapon...and one that Sarevok warns would become increasingly difficult to wield in the hands of one who was not a Deathbringer, if they could use it at all.
