This is mostly only true for deleted taxa.
When looking at the current ones only there are only 9380 genus synonyms with accepted children in the august 2016 backbone.
And this is caused by accepted species coming in for which the genus is considered a synonym. The species should have been transferred to the newly accepted genus, even though the names dont match up and should have been recombined

Comment: To be done: make sure species of synonym genera are moved to the accepted genus. Either as a post build fix or better even at build time
