I think most people casually use definition 2, not definition 1, of interpreted these days. In other words they call Perl interpreted and think that means that you execute Perl by running it through an interpreter of some sort.

In other words interpreted like JavaScript, Python and recent versions of TCL. (With version 8 TCL moved to a byte-code compiler.)

As for whether there are people who call Java an interpreted language, well they aren't very hard to find...
