The 3rd level Brutal Slash ability of the Sword Saint Samurai archetype in the Dragon Empires Primer claims to replace the samurai ability 'Mounted Charge'. Except that isn't a samurai ability. Is it meant to replace their 4th level Mounted Archer ability (and come a level early, at that), or to replace the normal 3rd level Samurai ability Weapon Expertise?
A common interpretation is that it comes at 4th level and replaces Mounted Archer at that level instead.
Hey, Aaron from Lone wolf, here. This has been reported as a bug in Hero Lab, and I am researching it for a possible fix. I'd very much like this clarified officially one way or the other. Is anyone aware of such an answer?
In the meantime, I guess I'll just add my nomination to get this in the FAQ.
FAQed and bump'd.
I know this is an old subject, but I still would appreciate an answer on this :)
Still gonna bump this because I'd love to have answer for this question please :)

There has been no "official" errata made, but there is an entry in the PFS Campaign Clarifications document that addresses this.
Page 22—The sword saint's brutal slash ability modifies weapon expertise as follows. Replace the second sentence of weapon expertise with "At 3rd level, the samurai selects either the katana or the wakizashi." The brutal slash ability also replaces mounted archer.

The Pathfinder Society campaign clarification has been adopted as the official ruling.
Sword Saint Samurai: The sword saint samurai’s brutal slash ability replaces an ability that doesn’t exist. What should it alter and replace?
The sword saint samurai’s brutal slash should replace the second sentence of weapon expertise with “At 3rd level, the samurai selects either the katana or the wakizashi.” This alters weapon expertise. Brutal slash also replaces mounted archer.
