Is NVDA using the wrong type of widget (tree) to show the headings on a page?

Go to webaim.org and bring up the list of headings in NVDA (Ins+F7).

WebAIM has two h2s before the main h1. NVDA displays all the headings
using a tree widget but a tree usually has the root node at the top. In
this case, NVDA displays the first two h2s and the main h1 all as siblings
on "level 0". After the h1, everything else is correct but it makes it
appear that there are three h1s on the page, which is not correct.

Has anyone noticed this before?

JAWS doesn't use a tree. It just has a simple list with the heading level
after the heading text.
