The superproject *is* a ref. You cannot prune the subprojects on their own. That's the *only* real special rule about subprojects. Exactly because pruning them on their own is not a valid op to do. It's the same way with an source of "alternate" objects (or a shared object directory) - you'd better not prune them, because other projects may have refs to them that you don't know about locally. So this isn't somethign new to subprojects.
