<<Yes, of course it is. It couldn't serve as an
example
if it were not both utter nonsense from a stricly
grammatical POV and correct from a strictly
grammatical POV.>>

It's not utter nonsense from a strictly grammatical
POV.  
It's illogical, given the usual understandings of the
words "infant" and "great grandmother."

"My great grandmother are an infant" (e.g.) would be
grammatical nonsense.
