The "region inheritance" (where AR is a child of 005 which is in turn a 
child of 419) is only used for CLDR data (date/time and number formatting), 
not for resolving messages. The documentation is wrong here, in that it 
doesn't match what the code does. I can't comment on what it should/could 
do here as I don't know much about I18N. I'd suggest you file an issue so 
that someone could either fix the code or the documentation.
