Makes one wonder why two almost identical skills work so differently. Blizzard reasoning. :)
... just guessing, but if the initial elemental missile kills a monster, is that when it continues through it and hits someone else, as opposed to when the initial missile merely damages it and then the splash kills it?

No, the fireball will after its attack make 9 additional attacks, one in each tile. The lemental will, if I recall correctly, create 9 new effects, one in each location, that lasts for 14 frames and make one attack attempt each every frame.
Have not looked at the code for a long time so this is from memory of how it should (or rather could) work.
There are three types of people in the world. Those who can count and those who can't.
