I think it's fair to say there is more than one definition of 'native'. When discussed in a performance context, it usually means "compiled not interpreted", as you suggest. But in a different context, it just means an app that you have in your Applications folder, as opposed to something you access by visiting a URL in your web browser. Whether you like it or not, this latter definition is what a lot of people mean when they use the word native. It's certainly how I read the word on the MacGap site - I never thought for a moment that they are claiming to somehow 'compile' HTML into machine code. So I don't think it's false advertising.
