Compare Thri-Kreen Weapon Mastery with Valenar Weapon Training.
First the rules text, then the XML implementation (just so you can see they
should be identical, but are not:
The wording in the short descriptions:
Gain proficiency, +2/+3/+4 (by tier) to damage with scimitars, double scimitars, and falchions
Proficiency and +2/+3/+4 bonus to damage with gythka and chatkcha.
Logically identical wording.
Now the code:

You gain proficiency with the gythka and the chatkcha. Additionally, you gain a +2 feat bonus to damage rolls with these weapons. This bonus increases to +3 at 11th level and +4 at 21st level.

Not quite identical! In particular, notice:
<statadd name=
"Scimitar:damage" value="+Valenar Weapon Training" type="Feat" />
<statadd name=
"Gythka,weapon:damage" value="+Thri-kreen Weapon Master (
Gythka)" type="Feat" />
<statadd name=
"Gythka,weapon:damage" value="+Thri-kreen Weapon Master (
Chatkcha)" type="Feat" />
The scimitar is how it's
supposed to be.
The first line, for Gythka, accidentally only adds to weapon damage.
The second line, for Chatkcha, accidentally adds to
Gythka damage! And also only to weapon damage.
Now that's something easily fixed for me because I can just fix my local .part file, but do you know if there's somewhere I can report the bug to?
