The fact that they were labeled as 2B is irrelevant to their DP rating in that fielding ratings are not at all relative to players at the same position. They are overall/absolute ratings of a players skill at that ability. Position ratings are a composite of many things and include experience, but no amount of experience is going to make a player with a 1 arm a competent 3B.
The original player in question turned DPs just fine immediately after being moved to second base. I'd bet that you might be able to take a first baseman, pitcher, or LF, who has a 1 DP rating and he'd be fine at turning double plays at 2B (though I don't know if throwing errors would come into play there and he'd otherwise be terrible).
As The Rain King and The Pretender point out, if the skill isn't that difficult or relevant, maybe it could be based off of error? You're unlikely to play a low error player in the middle infield. As I mentioned above, a 1 in a skill usually means a player doesn't really have that skill/ability at all in OOTP.
