It's a bug, you can't expect it to carry over as if it was a design decision. But a worthwile thought anyway.

Because it's considered a bug by adding the defense again.
Wep's get Damage, and for those the bug doesnt work.
Try it if your skeptical.

But the bug for armors is: "When you give an etheral armor sockets with the cube recipe, the etheral bonus is applied again"
The only reason I could see to why weapons aren't affected the same way would be that the codes are different, which in my opinion is quite bizzare.
Or maybe, the etheral damage code is different because they needed to make damage on boots and shields not affected by etherality, so they made more exact codes on damage than on def. Or something...
Master Zap: I believe you in that it doesn't work. I kinda thought so before I started the thread, since noone talks about ebugged weapons. What I'm wondering is why. Why would damage be different from defense when it comes to etheral bonus?

Simple
in 1.10 there was a bug; when an ethereal piece of armour was upgraded in the cube it became non ethereal.
Blizzard's solution was to re-apply the eth bonus to an armour that was transformed in the cube.
However, that fix is bugged, and applies to the socketing recipes as well: the armour's defense is multiplied by 1.5 again

Ok, thanks. Yet another situation where Blizzard were lazy when fixing a bug (nextdelay for shockweb, peace on mercs are other examples)

Re: Can you ebug weapons?
I remember reading about the cause of the bug somewhere, but forget where it was. Anyway, it was related to this:
-Armors' defense value is saved on the item since it's variable between min/max. This saved value includes the ethereal bonus, but doesn't differentiate it from the base defense.
-Weapons' base min/max damage is static and thus doesn't need to be saved.
