Because social cues are about lying more effectively, not conveying information reliably.
Whether or not a cue is truthful, what's surprising is the idea that it would be unclear - that people would disagree on what it's intended to mean.
Disagreements on interpretations of social cues between romantic partners with respect to a third party are, I think, a matter of trope at this point. Whether or not they're genuinely disagreeing is a different matter, but given that context, ambiguity is the mark of a good execution of a social cue.
