Ah yes, a confusing little thing huh? I had at one point some OOC exchange with Vellos about this, which essentially ended with the following (Note extreme paraphraserooney):
Vellos: "OOC mixing up terms ftw!"
Me: "Dude, it's semantics (Or some other BS I made up)"
Vellos: "No it's not (Or maybe the other way around. Couldn't care less.)"
Me: "Grr..."
Vellos: "You're too serious. Your frustration makes me lol."
So my thought is: If the player can locate it without any undue stress, whatever. It could be argued that the Survey Administration and Organize Repairs are "orders" given to the...administrative powers of a region. Maybe that might not make sense and doubtless I bet you someone like Indirik will have a counter to that thought, but really, as long as no one is confused beyond their brains' capacity with this, I don't think it makes too much of a difference.
It's an easy "fix", but remember, Courtiers can only be accessed by people who have played for at least 2 weeks or so. The majority will probably be veterans used to the current setup. I bet that if we did suddenly change it (even with an announcement sadly enough...) there will be at least five people who have played a minimum of 1 year saying "OMG Courtier is broken!" and at least one bugtracker report that says "OMG Courtier Actions Gone!!!"
