That confirms my suspicion after some experimentation that it was related to the 'orientation' of the body part coordinate system. It is odd since almost every other value (for JPs, origins, etc.) is specified in the UNIVERSE's (world) coordinate system. But the values when parented appear to be specified in the world coordinate system but oriented with the parent body part (i.e.: its rotations). Then, when unparented, these values still reflect that? Time for confirmation... :)

C makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. C++ makes it harder, but when you do, you blow your whole leg off.
