That's fine.

A QWidget with WA_NativeWindow will create a QWindow with a parent. A
QWindow with a parent will create a subsurface in wayland terms.
But it is a subsurface where Qt is managing it and you're also
committing on it, which can be a bit confusing and going through
widgets to create a subsurface isn't really needed.
There's a bunch of other options there.

Can you link your test app. You can send me a private email and I'll
take a look.  It doesn't seem like a core wayland problem more a
Qt/application setup issue so far. Then we can follow it up on Qt's
Jira if there is a Qt issue.
