I think a recent patch changed it, actually - which is odd because I can't find anything about it in the changelogs, but in BG1EE, SOD and BG2EE for me the spider form is the poisonous type, not a sword spider.

No idea why. If they thought it was too abusable then I'd have thought that they'd change the super-cheesy 100% Magic Resistance mustard jelly instead, seeing as that makes the spell overpowered by itself.
