I'm just going to interpret "[autopilot] couldn't deal with something" as "autopilot would also have crashed the car in that situation".

To me a situation in which autopilot would have crashed, gave control to the driver, who couldn't "save" the bad situation, is just an autopilot crash.

Autopilot is a SAE level 2 driver assist system; it should never be trusted to keep you safe. Whether or not the system bails out completely prior to a crash is immaterial.

That's a definition that no other car company would accept either, as their systems would score very poorly.
