This.

Torch isn't flagged as a weapon in the data which is probably why you can pickpocket it. But for the intents of disarm, it is considered a primary/secondary item which you can disarm.

When grouping with charmed pets before this change people would disarm your pets torch so that it dropped to the ground and you could collect it.

The fix is probably that you shouldn't be able to pick pocket a primary/secondary equipped item.
