Yes, it's a problematic term, but I believe it's supposed to mean "foreign to those who are taking it" or even "foreign compared with the language of instruction," not "foreign to the U.S." Both of those cover why native Spanish speakers can't get credit for taking Spanish 1, and why native speakers of other languages can't take English as a foreign language (because it is the language of instruction in most U.S. educational institutions).
