It is indicative of a broken hierarchy. When Orca is deciding where
you've moved to and what to present, it looks at things like parents,
siblings, and children. Index in parent of -1 is a big red flag saying
all bets are off.

Please file the bug upstream. I'm still scrambling to get the
ARIA-related specs out the door. Thanks!
