I don't jump in on these very often, but it seems to me that Vlad is 
pretty absent-minded (especially in the midst of trouble) about Lady 
Teldra's healing ability.  After all, he used the weapon's abilities to 
heal his arm, right after acquiring/creating her, during the battle with 
the Jenoine, then rather inconveniently forgot all about it and suffered 
from the effects of a beating clear to the end of Iorich, later 
remarking to himself, "You'd think someone would've told me she could do 
things like that."

I also think it more likely that Loiosh and/or Rocza retrieved Lady 
Teldra until Sara could bring it to Vlad, rather than being left at the 
scene.  I always assumed the impression of the weapon which Khaavren saw 
was Vlad's mundane rapier.

Who knows?
