I've actually dropped my request for 2 Civil points at character creation because a second one is given at level 2. That post was changed in an earlier patch.
They can just increase the dificulty to pickpocket to offset such a minor issue.
The problem with that idea is that it will mean that you will NEED 2 points into Pickpocket to get anything done, forcing you to get two points and making one point pretty useless.
