It's not your imagination. This non-reciprocal relationship occurs in a few other places as well. The one I can think of off-hand is Finder windows in the latest public release of Panther. In a Finder window in icon mode, the contents of the window are in an AXSplitGroup. A child of that AXSplitGroup is an AXScrollArea. A child of that AXScrollArea is an AXGroup. The parent of the AXGroup is the AXSplitGroup.

In the current version of Safari, it appears that the AXParent attribute of
any text field in a Web page is the AXScrollArea element of the main Web
page view area. However, the AXChildren of the AXScrollArea element are an
AXScrollBar element and an AXGroup element. The text field is a child of the
AXGroup element.

Buttons, static text, and other elements don't exhibit this problem -- they
show the AXGroup as their AXParent.

I see this both in UI Element Inspector and PreFab UI Browser.

Can somebody confirm this?
