I'm not sure this assumption is true.

My first assumption of how this works was that the first number of a 
+1 +2 two-handed sword means to add one to the result of throwing the
to-hit dice, then, if you really did hit, you will get +2 added to the
damage throw. If this assumtion is true, then the effectiveness of each 
weapon is kept linear.

Does anybody have the poop on the real story?
