According to the description, the spell deals levelX4 cold + level bludgeon damage;

QuoteCaster Level(s): Wizard / Sorcerer 3
Innate Level: 3
School: Evocation
Descriptor(s): Cold
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Medium
Area of Effect / Target: Colossal
Duration: Instant
Additional Counter Spells:
Save: Reflex half
Spell Resistance: Yes

A hail of magical ice chunks erupts from a point in space. The chunks fly in all directions, hitting everything within the burst. The pelting ice deals 1d4 points of cold damage +1 point of blunt damage per caster level, to a maximum of 10d4+10.

In practice, there is no blunt portion. This spell has never dealt any bludgeoning damage. Is the description wrong, or the implementation?

It's been years since the spell was introduced and whoever did that isn't around anymore, but I assume the script is correct and the description was probably copied from somewhere.
The correct is 1d4 + 1 cold damage per caster level, area of effect is gargantuan.
