The True Knife/Worn Dagger isn't the only anomalous case of items switching places depending on route. The box in the Judgement Hall only exists on a Genocide Route. Perhaps that can serve as a clue to what's going on? There's that bar of chocolate that is/isn't in the fridge, too. If I remember right Chara complains that it isn't there.

One of the things Narrator Giygas does in the hack is tell Varik that one sword has The Power To Destroy The Entire Universe! ... which for a decent yet modest Attack Power boost seems.. exaggerated. Especially since it takes a lot of hits with it to take Doctor Andonuts down.

Flowey helping Chara might account for the extra box, since he's been going ahead solving puzzles and being helpful. But it doesn't account for everything.
