Actually the stability curves use the above the water (when at rest) hull as much or maybe more than the below the water area. In Rob's picture when that boat heels the beam grows very quickly thus once rolled a little it's stability is higher than it'll be at rest.
Look at the stability curves for most kayaks, the stability gets stronger as the hull is leaned, the stability like rises above the zero point as the angle increases, then reaches it's maximum point and then decreases and eventually crosses the zero line and only then the stability decreases.
(this would be a heck of alot easier to explain if I were a math teacher, which I'm not)
