I sense no bug, you will receive a nightmare weapon or aether version of it, getting both is most unlikely to happen and that might then, in case it should happen, be a bug. Tho the chances to find TA gear are very slim compared to aether versions, which are guaranteed; yet higher than getting an aether weapon skin – those BL skins.

I think you have your wires crossed here. Aetherized Nightmare skins were never black lion.
To the OP, I believe the standard hammer dropping instead of the Aetherized version is a bug. No dungeon drops the weapons or armor that is purchased for tokens. Aetherized weapons are not 100% guaranteed but they were definitly boosted to drop more often probably to make the path worth doing again.
So unless this was an undocumented change to all dungeons (where the token vendor items now drop inside the respective dungeon) I believe this is a bug.
I’d suggest putting in a support ticket with all the info you can of when you did the path, etc as the Vendor items for Deadly Blooms shouldn’t be dropping, the same as it is for other dungeons. They are only purchased via their respective currency.
I encourage you to read my replay again so you see what I actually wrote.
The Aetherpath in TA is the only dungeon path where you can get “skins” from 3 different (weapon) sets. All blue/aetherized versions of the TA weapons, every piece of regular TA gear (meaning weapons and armor) and the BL atherblade weapon skins.
I don’t know when they changed the it but aetherized weapons are 100% guaranteed to drop for quite some time now. This might be limited to one per day, not sure about that ’cause I never did two runs a day.
For regular TA gear the chances are pretty slim, and even slimmer for BL aetherblade skins. And yes, the aetherpath in TA may be the only dungeon path that can drop dungeon gear/BL skins.
How do I know? Whenever I complete the aetherpath I get a random aetherized weapon. I also looted a regular TA sword instead of the aetherized version as well as a TA mask and two BL aetherblade weapon skins over the past year.
Perhaps you are thinking of the similarly named Aetherized Nightmare weapons — those were changed to drop frequently from the end chest of TA/Aether. (I don’t remember it being guaranteed, but I don’t run it that often so perhaps you are correct about that.)
Although it’s not documented on the wiki, I believe it’s also possible to get an Aetherized weapon skin randomly from aether foes, including those found in fractals and in TA/Aether. If that’s true, it’s extremely rare…rare enough that it might drop from only some aether foes (e.g. just in fractals or just in TA/aether).

I don’t know if it is a bug but dropping the regular TA weapon from the aether path isn’t new. A friend got one of those(also the axe) on one of our first runs of the aether path when it was first released.
