It's not so much a circle as just a newly coined term for "agent":
user agent ~= browser
agent ~= microbrowser
The terms on the left seem more technical/archaic, those on the right seem more populist/accessible.
On the other hand, since this one blogger seems to be the inventor of the term "microbrowser", it's still going to be ambiguous: easily confused with potential alternative definitions such as "lightweight browser", "headless browser" (e.g. selenium webdriver), "browser with low market share", etc.
