The Version Update broke the Automaton Ranger and Blue Mage Ranged spells. Someone even said it broke blue mage's non ranged piercing spells, so it could just have been related to piercing damage for Blue Mage and Automatons.
Either way, it was patched, meaning "ranged" was fixed or unnerfed.
But this didn't apply to rangers or another job using bow, xbow, gun, shurikens, darts, and whatnot.
Because of the language used to describe the nerf and unnerf, I can see this as an honest mistake.
