Human Sorcerer 1st level

Takes Precocious Apprentice, say, Scorching Ray.

Now take Extra Spell. Normally a 1st level Sorcerer would only be able to select an extra 0 level spell. but since they 'know' a second level spell (via the PA feat) can our sorcerer pick a first level spell?

Benefit: Choose one 2nd-level spell from a school that is not barred to you. You can cast that spell once per day. In effect, you have an extra 2nd-level spell slot that must be used to cast the chosen spell, and cannot be used for any other purpose. If you cannot cast 2nd-level spells yet, you must succeed on a caster level check (DC 8) to successfully cast the spell; if you fail, you miscast the spell to no effect. Your caster level with the chosen spell is your normal caster level, even if this is insufficient to cast the spell under normal circumstances.
The way the bolded line is worded suggests that the bonus spell is not actually recognized as a 2nd lv spell for interaction with other effects?:confused:

I would say that Precocious Apprentice would let you choose a 1st level spell with Extra Spell.
