Yes, I can see your point - the First Cut description should really mention that it inflicts effects like bleed and venom too. First Cut and First Strike are both odd abilities, as they act outside of combat and may be inconsistent with other descriptors.
I think I may have originally intended for First Cut to not inflict venom and bleed, and then changed my mind (possibly in a later book), but then never went back to change it in the reprinting. I may update the online glossary of abilities at some point to reflect this.
