Reparenting bone is it a bug or not
this video well explain i cant write any more here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_zd6b-i0xnQ
It appears that you have a very very very very tiny bone that is a child of the other bone it's parented to. It is so small you can't see it but is a child of the "top" bone. When you moved that bone in the video you can see the "arrow" follows it because the small tiny child bone moves along with it.
This can happen when you are drawing bones and accidentally click without dragging creating a tiny bone.
On the bone layer, select all bones (CTRL+A on win, CMD+A on mac). With all bones selected select the bone strength tool. This will show the strength envelope around all the bones. If you have a tiny bone that can't be seen well or is hard to select it will "appear". You will see the strength envelope around that bone making it easier to see.
Another tip I advise everyone to do is to turn on "Auto name shapes and bones" in the preferences. You may never use the named bones or it may seem unnecessary but at some point you might need to select a bone or shape that is very difficult to locate or select. By having names for all bones and shapes they can be selected in the bone selection menu or in the shape menu in the style palette.
In this case you could look at the list of named bones and count the bones you see... if they don't match you have a tiny bone somewhere.
