Definitely not. I would question a seller's intent if he said that.

Its true that I have never seen another W&B with a blade like this before.

I wonder if the frown is ground out, that pretty much means flat edge, and would it remove much weight from the blade?
No. The correction coud be kept mainly to the heel & flattening any sway back razor is simply bad geometry
Just confirming Rezdog's reply. This razor most likely had heel damage & was badly honed to compensate.
