AFAICT, this traces back to a blog post by Neal Gafter:

When people say "Tennent's correspondence principle" to mean something like
"beta-conversion is semantics-preserving" I believe this post is where they got
the impression that it has to do with Tennent. For better or worse, it seems to
have stuck.
