Flaming arrows+barrels damage bugged?

[aben WHY (VC Off)]

I notice any types of explosive deals double if not more damage when they are lit by flaming arrow.
Smoke powder barrel is suppose to do 22~34 damage, but when lit with Flaming arrows it easily one shot 50 health charchters

look at the damage log.

I'm not sure how they decided to do barrel damage, but something does seem odd.

Early in the game, there is a fight with bandits at the overgrown temple, inside at the chapel entrance. I usually drop the stone block but enter through the normal door. This sets up the bandits so they're all in the same room, with most of them around an oil barrel.

Most of the time I'll have one of the characters hit that barrel with a firebolt, which causes a small explosion and immediately kills 2 of the bandits and seriously injures another.

However, one time I was seeing how well I would do with a single character, and only had a monk that did not have firebolt. So I just whipped a lit torch at the barrel. It still popped and spread fire damage, but it was significantly less. Maybe a few points of damage to those that got hit and some burning. I think in one of the attempts some of the flaming debris actually flew across the room and struck my character for a bit of damage and burning. It's been a while and I haven't done any testing, so maybe something changed between plays.

Flaming arrows themselves also explode, could be the arrow damage applying on top of the barrel damage

The log shows multiple hit on the same creature even when only a single explosive is involved, visually it looks like there were multiple explosion going off as well

The total damage still doesn't add up even when considering the arrows damage. It also works when the arrow (including its explosion) only hit the barrel and not the enemy so that can't be it
