Northlander Hewing damage type is inappropriate

Not entirely sure, you can test in JEGS module by crafting such a weapon and see if it works.

It is the same damage type as the weapon. Adding another damage type just makes it stackable.

For instance for a longsword you add bludgeon or pierce damage, but if the weapon doesn't get "extra bludgeon" or "extra pierce damage" added, the additional damage won't change type at all. It is just used to make it stackable.

Hold on. This seems a pretty important piece of information. I always took, say, 1d4 added piercing damage to a bludgeoning weapon to be a useless bonus against builds with 5 DR against piercing. But here you are saying that the piercing attribute to the extra damage doesn't really matter but is just there to make it stackable? Are you saying that? I.e. that those 1d4 are actually turned into bludgeoning damage due to the weapon's bludgeoning character which overrides the specific damage type of the extra damage? Can anyone confirm/clarify this? It would make a big difference to weapon and feat values.

I'm pretty sure it works this way. It has in nwn1 and it got ported to nwn2. But I will await the authorities on this matter as well . Bumping so it doesn't get buried.
