I had a conversation about this with someone last year. It was (and still is) my contention that "grid leak" is a misnomer unless the resistor's value is so high that grid leak bias is produced. But wouldn't you know, in the course of researching this further after the fact, I proved myself wrong. Don't remember the source now, but I came across an instance of a tube manufacturer using "grid leak resistor" for a simple, low value grid resistor to ground. The reference was from the '60s or earlier. Go figure.
