That's what mean - this is direct parent-child. But consider

bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> echo 0 2048 linear /dev/loop0 0 | sudo dmsetup 
create whole
bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> echo 0 59392 linear /dev/loop0 2048 | sudo dmsetup 
create part

At this point /dev/mapper/part refers to partition of /dev/mapper/whole
but there is not direct relationships between two that you can
easily discover

bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> sudo dmsetup ls --tree
whole (254:5)
 └─ (7:0)
part (254:6)
 └─ (7:0)

and

bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> sudo ./grub-probe  -t hints_string -m device.map 
/mnt 
./grub-probe: warning: unknown device type loop0
.

bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> cat device.map 
(hd0) /dev/mapper/whole

but

bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> sudo ./grub-probe  -t hints_string -m device.map 
/mnt 
./grub-probe: warning: unknown device type loop0
.
--hint='hd0,msdos1' 
bor@opensuse:~/build/grub> cat device.map
(hd0) /dev/loop0

So in common cases it will work and is better as nothing, but there will be 
corner cases that may fail.

But by you said in previous message that HEAD works? Not sure how
though :)
