No...that should be a Mythril Shield and a Mythril Lance he's equipped with. If you want a small boost at the beginning of the game, you can unequip Mog during the Moogle battle royale, but I think that was intentional.

:Edit:

Oh, I see. It's printing the line for dispelling the curse on the cursed shield in the first battle you fight with the Mog party. Not sure why it's doing that...I'll have to look into it.
