Umm, why are the parent cells also smaller? They should logically be
even larger. Also, something odd happens for the sizes if the cursor is on
the third level (grandchild of root) of the tree.

Excellent. All rasters should survive any structure. Otherwise it's a bug.

Probably another raster would be more appropriate: it's a very different
structure.
