Without further clarification, when I read "compiler" I translate it as "standalone program which takes source code and emits exactly one binary which executes the program".

It can be a much broader term, for example you will run into people here arguing (with some justification!) that a "transpiler" doesn't exist since it's a mere subset of the broad definition of a compiler.

I'm just reporting on the mental image that calling such-and-such a compiler forms in my mind's eye. I expect I'm not alone in that.

There's nothing "broad" about a compiler not generating "exactly one binary". First, most of the time, even in conventional systems, it is the linker who creates that binary, not the compiler. Second, in other systems, such as Oberon, there's not even "exactly one binary" for anything, unless you're talking about the currently running system as a whole.
