According to the source code your observation is correct. I've no good
reason why we implemented it this way.

                // Walk the component hierarchy down from page to the component
                for (int i = searchStack.size() - 1; (i >= 0) && (string == 
null); i--)
                {
                        Class clazz = (Class)searchStack.get(i);

                        // First check if a property with the 'key' provided by 
the
                        // user is available.
                        string = loadStringResource(clazz, key, locale, style);

                        // If not, prepend the component relativ path to the key
                        if ((string == null) && (prefix != null) && 
(prefix.length() > 0))
                        {
                                string = loadStringResource(clazz, prefix + '.' 
+ key, locale, style);
                                ....
                        }
                }
