As David said, this is a parent-child mismatch problem. There used to be a
lot of them (especially in the Finder and in system dialogs), and new ones
crop up from time to time. Apple has been pretty good about fixing them when
bug reports are filed.
Usually, you can reach the desired element from one direction (for example,
in UI Element Inspector, which looks from the leaf element under the mouse
up to the application root, or with UI Browser's hot key, which does the
same thing), but not the other (for example, UI Element Inspector's pop-up
for looking from parent to children, or UI Browser's browser view. Depending
on the direction, there may not be anything you can do about it until Apple
fixes it.
