So I darn near murdered my air elemental when he... forgot to bring his immunity to lightning? The very last line here is what finally caught my attention, since I wasn't paying enough attention to note the lack of "your elemental is unaffected"s.

I was hitting this same elemental in an earlier fight, but obviously didn't do enough damage for me to notice. The air elemental directly before this one was on the ball, so it doesn't seem like they've entirely lost that ability, but maybe during the conjuring something can go wrong and it doesn't come with immunity?

Yep, it seems like I conjure a faulty elemental, as the next one is back with full immunity.

I would guess you had just gained a level and your elemental had not yet been re-conjured and was thus lower level than you. If so, not a bug.

Also, if elementals get hit by faerie fire, they lose their immunities.

Chain lightning hasn't hit the caster in a long time...if ever. Also it used to do damage to the air elemental now it doesn.t

There are situations in which chain lightning does still hit the caster. However it only happens under certain circumstances. Also this is not a change, it's always been like this.

However, the favorable relationship between air elementals and lightning is one of the new things from the warlock update.
