The actual problem is that it's checking against the off-hand and not the main hand. Having a one handed weapon in your off-hand triggers it, but if it's in your main hand ignite weapon doesn't pick it up. Hopefully it's just the spell that's wrong and not the main/off hand detection.

 

Bug submitted. Thank you for reporting.

 

This is still present in release 377.

 

There was a fix submitted for it today. Expect it resolved in an upcoming patch.
