I'm with Dvang and others who think that aquiring and training a skill isn't the same.
If you could only aquire an advanced skill at character creation and not subsequently train it then all the academic careers would have to start out without being able to read and write, which just seems wrong to me.
FYI You only need to Acquire Education to be literate.
It appears I may have mixed up the pre and post errata terminology, It does indeed look like now there is no limit to acquiring and training a skill at creation, sorry for the mis-statement before.

Since Acquiring a skill is not the same as Training a skill you can both Acquire a skill and Train it during character creation. The same goes for later in the game too during character advancement. If you have a Rank 1 character, you can Acquire an advanced skill and then Train it once (you cant train it more than until you increase your rank).
That means that there are no special rules governing character creation in this regard. It has the same limitations as later in the game during character advancement.
This is how I read it as well.
