This is to be expected when using getRawModel(), cf. its javadoc which 
reads "the raw model has not undergone any updates by the model builder, 
e.g. reflects neither inheritance nor interpolation".

I suggest to peek at 
org.apache.maven.repository.internal.DefaultArtifactDescriptorReader.readArtifactDescriptor() 
to get an idea of the required bits.

For things like parent POMs or imported POMs to work, you probably also 
want to pass a ModelResolver into the ModelBuildingRequest.
