Short description of error
Parenting don't work with geometry node "Transform"

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error

Add a cube.
add another small cube for subtract boolean and make boolean.
parent the small cube to the the original cube.
make geometry node "Transform". and give some distance and you will see that the small cube is not moving

I would say this is because transform moves the mesh, not the object. It's equivalent to going in to edit mode and moving the mesh. Correct me if I'm wrong.
edit: Yes after trying the file below, there is some problem.

I'm not entirely sure if I'm using geometry nodes correctly, but the result of the Transform node with parenting does look wrong. When using it after the Boolean it does affect both the parent and the child, but the position they should be in don't match. It also changes the shape and location of the boolean operation, which is strange considering the transform is applied after the boolean. This is even easier to see when using rotation instead of translation.

Thanks for the report, but as Erik said, this is indeed not a bug.

Modifiers should never move objects themselves, they only affect object data. If you want to transform the other object in the node tree you can use the boolean node and an object info node.
