Bug?

Bug is, a line of Bodocs was moving through the cloud but not taking any damage.

I prefer this behavior to that the bodocs think you attacked them with nasty poisonous cloud or a source explosion.

On the other hand, I'd prefer if they were thinking something like "ouch that hurts, let me get away from this" or whatever bodocs think, and just get away from the hurty-thing...

Or is that a feature?

It is a feature. If I recall correctly, the devs wrote somewhere that intentionally making gas clouds and explosions to kill off or wound the wildlife would be a too-easily exploited phenomena - so they made the wildlife immune to digging hazards.

Easily exploitable behavior would be to find an AFK person and prospect up a node near them then intentionally use the most harmful extraction you have to cause it to explode, seriously damaging or killing the AFKer.

I've never heard of that happening. Atys is generally a friendly place. Also there would be no profit in killing someone afk, that is no loot, no points etc. On very rare occasions, one hears of people dragging aggro against others (outside of battlefields) to grief them but I've never seen it in a year here.

However, if one could blow or gas mobs while foraging, one could, for instance, use this to kill herbivore bosses with little or no risk, gaining loot and xp.

Bodocs are indigenous, homins are not; might be a reason?
