Did some testing with my kestrel, the glaives should work quite similar (but not the halikar, since it's bugged):

-The explosion didn't crit or inflict any status on itself (aside of the knockdown), but does deal increased dmg against unaware targets. aka stealth crit.

-Channeling does not affect the explosion at all.

-The damage does scale from the dmg mods and copies their dmg types. (easy to test on yourself, just equip a toxin dmg mod + power throw and Quick Return)

-There is no fall off, they either get hit or they don't. And it does ignore walls or objects that might block the explosion.

-Attack speed does increase the charge time, but does not alter flight speed or distance traveled so it's not of that much use. (+ you want to use spoiled strike for the dmg increase)

-Reach (or primed reach) have no effect on the explosion.
