Yeah, I thought as much after playing around with two handers!

Wiki Quote on flame cloak...
Flame Cloak is an Adept level Destruction spell which surrounds the caster in a wall of fire. If an enemy hits or gets too close to the caster that enemy is set on fire for 8 points of damage. Also if Flame Cloak is active, its damage is applied to the Dragonborn's melee damage.
EDIT: In reality it's just the cloaks normal damage that's being added...
EDIT: Perhaps people got confused by this in Skyrims early days, doesn't flame cloak make an enemy slightly more vulnerable to all damage the same as all fire spells...
