I think it's a misuse of the term unless the tube is being biased by the grid resistor. If it is then it's a 'grid leak resistor'. If it's not then it's a 'grid resistor'.

I have looked at some of the old books and I've been shown to be wrong.

But I still think 'grid resistor' is the proper term. I don't know anyone using "grid leak bias" in modern audio designs.
