Don't forget that the 9MM is a taper case while the .380 is straight wall.

So the .380 round might headspace against the taper well enough that the extractor can hold against the firing pin but the case head will most likely be lacking in support. I suspect any .380 brass fired in a 9MM chamber suffers bad case head expansion.
