I think they gave it to Ian mainly because of its greater length and therefore practicality in a duel, compared to Sidious’s rather short and therefore rather single-handed design.
Despite all this, even if it’s not intentional, at least in the novelization, Sidious actually draws his future apprentice’s lightsaber during the duel with Windu.
As you can see, Anakin could have actually wielded the red blade on Mustafar if only Windu hadn’t kicked it out the window. The boy was too late. What a shame. XD

So is that considered a continuity error or are we supposed to believe the character was carrying around a spare lightsaber in his pants?

The original plan to draw Anakin’s lightsaber was good. It would have been an interesting plot point for the lightsaber to be blue and turn red, maybe Obi-Wan funds out Anakin is a sith when he activates the lightsaber on Mustafar.

I think that’s also the shot where Ian looks like he can barely hold it up straight
