That's only because units are immune to their own weapons - the blast from an ammo explosion is perfectly able to damage an aircraft in an adjacent hex.

For the record, I just tried it with four Stukas against a bunch of ammo dumps:
Most of the time, they got away unscathed, but eventually,
-two were destroyed by secondary explosins (both times in a hex adjacent to the plane, not the same one)
-one was damaged by the explosion of the dump
-one disappeared from the bombardment menu, although I had not seen any particular reason why (probably damaged, but I missed the message - was more focused on where the explosions were happening)
