[BOED] Fist of Raziel's Fiendsmite errata?

[FireLance]

The 7th-level enhancement to the Fist of Raziel's Smite Evil ability states:

"Fiendsmite: At 7th level, whenever a fist of Raziel smites evil, her weapon deals an extra 2d8 points of damage against evil outsiders and evil undead, instead of the +2d6 normally dealt by a holy weapon. If she also has the Exalted Smite feat, this damage is still doubled."

Exalted Smite makes a Smite Evil attack good-aligned for the purposes of bypassing damage reduction. There is no other feat that doubles smite damage. Should the underlined section be taken out?

I haven't seen the entire PRC so can't say if it's overpowered...

What makes you think it should be removed in errata? If it's the fact that it's the only power that's caused that effect thus far in a WotC product ("there's no other feat...", I can't agree with the logic.

I guess the problem is with the word "still". If the damage is doubled if the Fist has Exalted Smite, then the word "still" should not be there. By saying that the damage is "still" doubled, the implication is that Exalted Smite would affect the bonus damage in some way, which it should not from my reading of the feat.
