You are all correct, the glass envelope around a single-ended bulb is both protection for the tube inside, and a UV shield. Think of it as an HQI or double-ended bulb with the UV shield built in... And on that note DO NOT use the damaged bulb further. You will either fry your retinas or your corals and fish or both.
