No, 10% + 25% equals 35%. 10% + 25%*10% = 12.5%

The screen says to-hit increase, which is exactly what it does. It increases your accuracy rating by 25%, not 25% of what it currently is.

There are several other areas of the game such as race setup where you may think you are getting a certain "percentage" improvement but it is actually much differenct

The only other one that could be confusing is maintenance, which isn't really that bad.
