I would say examples like this are closer to the tagged PDF, where presentational markup is mapped onto basic structural markup concepts. The main difference here is that you have structural markup, pretending to be presentational markup and then hinted as being a different sort of structural markup. With tagged PDF, the markup is unashamedly presentational, and for this sort of structural hinting, that is the right way to go; trying to base it HTML is likely to be the result of commercial considerations, rather than good design. My understanding of HTML role= is that it is refining correct structural use, in particular to create constructs that are bigger than <p>.
