Monk's Robes do NOTHING for Brawlers?

[hotnasty]

Seeing some wording issues with Monk's Robe and the Martial Training gained from Brawler. Seems that neither of Monk's Robe's effects apply as they don't have levels in Monk yet are treated as a Monk.

Monk's Robe

Spoiler:

When worn, this simple brown robe confers great ability in unarmed combat. If the wearer has levels in monk, her AC and unarmed damage are treated as a monk of 5 levels higher. If donned by a character with the Stunning Fist feat, the robe lets her make one additional stunning attack per day. If the character is not a monk, she gains the AC and unarmed damage of a 5th-level monk (although she does not add her Wisdom bonus to her AC). This AC bonus functions just like the monk’s AC bonus.

Martial Training

Spoiler:

At 1st level, a brawler counts her total brawler levels as both fighter levels and monk levels for the purpose of qualifying for feats. She also counts as both a fighter and a monk for feats and magic items that have different effects based on whether the character has levels in those classes (such as Stunning Fist and a monk’s robe). This ability does not automatically grant feats normally granted to fighters and monks based on class level, namely Stunning Fist.

Seems silly that this item would not do anything, but each time I read these two mechanics that's exactly how the wording plays out. The levels are not treated as monk levels for magic items (feats only), but you're treated as a monk for the sake of qualifying for different magic item effects.

Is there errata on this? Is there something wrong with this logic? I've seen a thread or two point this out but most of what I've read is based of indirect interpretations and assumptions.

A character does treat his brawler levels as monk levels for feats and magic items. Monk's Robes are explicitly included.

So yes, a brawler gets the full benefit of monk robes.
