I believe a lot of GURPS - including UT - treats extremities as extensions of the limbs they are on, rather than their own thing. The values you give for Bionic Arms and Bionic Hands actually fit this - a Bionic Hand is far more complex (which is where the price is going to come from) than a Bionic Arm alone, so with Bionic Arm costing more, it must include a Bionic Hand - the Bionic Arm portion is only $4,000, while the Bionic Hand portion is $8,000 (just like a normal Bionic Hand), for that grand total of $12,000.
