It's part intended and part bug.

The intended part is that the explosion deals significantly more damage than the 50 that the projectile deals.

The unintended part is that it hits multiple body parts at once on ragdolled/knockdowned enemies.

Seeing as how they still haven't fixed the ragdoll multi-damage bug for even the ignis/embolist, I think it quite unlikely it will get a fix for this weapon either, any time soon.
