While creating the Power Attack adjustment for my game, I came across something that was baffling me for a while until I figured out it is being applied to all double weapons. Double weapons can be used two-handed, getting 1.5 times the strength damage, when not using the weapon as a double weapon (i.e., using each end). Using a double weapon as a two-handed weapon and NOT as a double weapon is not applying the 1.5 strength bonus to damage, only the normal strength bonus.
PHB, page 113: "The character can also choose to use a double weapon two-handed, attacking with only one end of it..."
