I'm more partial to it having something to do with the explosion being triggered upon hitting an "object" and then the aoe triggering from there. Loking at it that way, if you kill the enemiy you shot with it, who is the "object" in question, there is nothing for the explosion to radiate outwards from, thus resulting in no splash damage.
