1) It is still happening. Tested with a Nirvana Replica + Completely empty hand.

2) I've also noticed a similar issue with MMA and Ambidexterity across "general" skills that should be useable regardless of weapon type like repel, hanging, banquet, etc. Despite Mixed Martial Arts, they basicaly ignore that you effectively have a bare fist as a "subweapon," despite MMA not working if you have any other subweapon or shield so there shouldn't be a conflict.
