According to the Planar Handbook, page 65:

"At 3rd level and higher, an elemental warrior can, as a move action, imbue any melee weapon she wields with the energy of her chosen element. The imbued weapon deals an extra 2d6 points of energy damage on each hit. The effect lasts for 1 minute and may be dismissed as a free action. She can use this ability a number of times per day equal to her class level.

If the weapon already has a magical effect that allows it to deal energy damage, that effect is suppressed for the duration of the elemental weapon effect."

According to the rules as written, it appears to me that the energy damage would still stack with a Bane effect. Is this an accurate reading of the rules?

A bane weapon "...deals an extra 2d6 points of damage..."

This damage is not called out as energy damage, therefore it is not energy damage.

Therefore it stacks just fine.

Isn't it Bane Energy? Bane Energy stacks with Fire Energy.

No, "Bane" is not an energy form. It's just an extra 2d6 of untyped damage.
