What you are experiecing is probably the fact that any single target can only be struck once by a wave of multishot. If you are moving fast enough, it can appear that you just ran through several arrows, when in fact the first one in the wave struck you and basically immunized you against the others.Actually when you are running the chance to hit part is completely skipped and the game treats it as an automatic hit. This does not matter if the attack is melee or missile.
Zath's explanation seems like one reasonable case for not getting hurt. Another would be that the shot was blocked. I would assume that in these PvP matches that you are using a shield. Remember that while running the blocking chance is 1/3 of its normal value.
