Tonight I was looking at rune magic in FiM:R, to create a new weapon for my PCs to find and remembered this post. Anyways....
A. It looks like if the rune is KEYED to a certain creature, it states that the weapon is a magic weapon ONLY for that keyed creature. For example, you inscribe HATRED on a sword and key it to undead, it is a magical weapon only for undead.
B. It states in the "Why Runes" Section on page 178: "by adding a rune to a non magical suit of armor or weapon of personal or historical significance, a character can create a useful MAGICAL item..." So I would say that a rune weapon is a magical weapon, with the only odd "keyed" runes changing that up a bit.
Now I am not a staffer, someone may chime in and totally tell me I am wrong. And feel free to discuss!!!
