The guidance is that we want it to be VERY clear to people, when someone quotes just a status, what they are talking about. There is a very different situation in progress when a unit state is being described than the state of the whole application. Imagine a telephone conversation between two stressed people; you want the word they use, even without much context, to tell as much as possible to the other person about what they are dealing with.
In this case, I don't think there is as much risk of confusion between the state of the model and the state of the application, as there is between app and unit. For that reason, I think it's "OK" but not great to use the same terms for model and application.
