I suppose I'd be willing to say that those are "facets" of a single property if presented with evidence that they correlated really rightly with each other, but, no, I wouldn't a-priori consider, say, sensation seeking and intellectual open mindedness to be different facets of the same quality.

The big five aren't a-priori categories. They are supposed to be factors that come out of principle component analysis.
