Invalid ARIA necessarily a WCAG fail? (Role menuitem missing required parent role (group,menu,menubar)

Hi,

If I find (via an excellent ARIA checker bookmarklet) an issue such as a link with role="menuitem" with no required parent role (group,menu,menubar) present on the page, am I correct to record this as a WCAG fail?

Apologies in advance if this is fairly obvious and I just missed it.

Thanks.

Alan
