Blizzard almost never misses if you aim properly. You learn to cast where they get hit as they run through it, just as you learn to aim meteors. Usually people get hit by 2-4 shards as they go through.
That has more to do with smart casting than bugged casting. There "blind spots" that occur when blizzard is cast on a certain area, and where no shards strike. With a moving target, it is much more likely that they will be hit as they move out of these areas. Most often it can be seen with the casters, especially oblivion mages, where you cast blizzard on a stationary target and it never gets hit (even though you are specifially targeting them). As the skill stands, it is not all that uncommon even for moving targets to pass through a blizzard without getting hit.
