I can only respond to that question with a "technically yes"... but also it's not incorrect to do so (as /u/Les_Petits_Morts well described).
Our base unit class is unfortunately named "Minion". It's possible to rename, but would be really annoying to do (will likely occur at some point). The minion that you probably most commonly think of when you think of a "minion" though are lane minions. Though all Lane Minions have the Minion class, the Minion class does NOT imply all the behavior of the Lane Minions.
The issue in this video is more related to handling swapping between two kinds of characters: A structure --> "Allied Epic Monster" (like Rift Herald). Part of the data for the structure half is incomplete. It will take adding a little bit of code to make that possible in our engine and a little bit of script to make it happen.
There should be a temporary fix out on PBE tomorrow stopping all worst cases. The real fix (via a new engine feature) will follow shortly after that (though, likely next week).
