Is it simply because the common disc is used for both operating systems? If that's true, then this isn't a true reading for power-on hours as although the linux disc isn't being used, it's still powered on.
It probably isn't powered on though, when windows starts up it probably takes a look at the partition table and then goes "nope" and puts the disk into standby so it isn't really doing anything. If it wanted to speak to the disk it would tell the controller and it would get woken up again.
Ah. Hadn't thought that Windows would be that clever ;-)
