Is it possible that, as someone suggested earlier (a few months back,
actually), a Jedi can or must construct his/her own lightsaber?  If so,
perhaps Anakin/Darth constructed another, more powerful saber some time
after being seduced by the dark side.  The abandoned saber could have
fallen into Ben's hands and, to perpetuate the "point of view" of Luke's
father's death, he presented it to Luke on Tatooine.  If you really want
to be picky, you could say that Ben's thoughtful attitude when telling
Luke about his father for the first time is actually hesitation and the
act of fabricating the "point of view" (I hate to say that a Jedi can lie).

Not that I'm taking all of this seriously, but it's fun playing head games
with it...
