I think it's a bug left over from live. Currently (on live), your spell power is boosed by an amount equal to your weapon power, and then additionally by set bonuses or items that give extra spell power.

They're apparently trying to change it so that spell power and weapon power are completely seperate stats, but havent done a great job of reworking the code.
