That's correct. It has to do with how the damage instances are calculated. Javelin is a magic damage instance that's calculated separately from the attack damage instance of a hero, so life steal doesn't proc off of it.
That's pretty inconsistent though, since something like Void's Time Lock is magic damage, but IS calculated as part of the attack damage instance, and therefore procs life steal. Maybe changing the way Javelin works so that you can lifesteal from it would... buff... something?
It's probably fine as is, but that's be interesting. Lifesteal on Maelstrom woo.
