So looking at the Weapon Modification rules, a player asked if they can add Serrated Edge to their Egoistic Butchering Axe. While I have no problems with that, would Egoistic make them automatically proficient (as they have the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat for Butchering Axe already) or would they still need to take the Weapon Adept feat?
I'm just not sure on how to rule it.

Huh. That's certainly a rare situation you've run into! ^_^
By RAW, the Exotic Weapon Proficiency feat won't help you for a modified exotic weapon:
An exotic weapon that receives modifications cannot be wielded without the Modified Weapon Proficiency or Weapon Adept feat.
That said, Pathfinder Unchained systems like dynamic item creation are, by their nature, experimental and flexible. So I'd consider what you think the best or most appropriate result would be for your campaign.
