Are you getting Sword of Runes confused with Staff of Runes? I can't find any evidence that Sword of Runes ever procced anything before October 1999. None of those links I posted has a proc listed for it, including the long list, which includes procs on other weapons.
Direct quote from the long list. Sword of Runes has no effect, and three items down we see effect listed for EBS. There are others. Quote:

Got another hit from a mage message board on cor.simplenet.com, regarding the other items that had effects added in the September 1999 patch:

Sword of Runes, Dagger of Symbols, and Spear of Warding would have had their stats and/or effects added in the October patch, since they are not Lore. They should be gated until those eras. | |||

Additionally, I came across a statement by Abashi that Sword of Runes had stopped proccing from January 2000 until April 2000. This is enough of a time period to warrant mentioning I think and to consider era rules for:

A couple extra posts from the Newsgroups to show the Sword of Runes wasn't proccing after Jan. If I had to guess, they broke it in the necro-pet-daggers-nerf patch at end of Jan:
