[annotation] gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolic process/derivatives question

I have a gene uga1 annotated to
4-aminobutyrate transaminase activity
and
gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolic process

at the moment in GO derivatives-of-x metabolism under x metabolism generally 

so
gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolic process
inherits process annotations to
fatty acid metabolic process and
amine metabolic process
http://www.ebi.ac.uk/ego/DisplayGoTerm?id=GO:0009448

even though GABA isn't a 'fatty acid'

Do people have any feelings whether this is correct for GO ?

i.e. would you expect to see genes annotated to 
"gamma-aminobutyric acid metabolic process"
annotated to "fatty acid metabolic process" ?
