Sure, and it's probably wise not to pick error categorizations that impute consciousness onto a thing that's 1) almost certainly not conscious, 2) behaves quite similarly to a conscious thing, and 3) might become conscious at some point in the near or distant future
Hallucinations are definitionally features of conscious experience. Pick a different word or make one up!

"an experience involving the apparent perception of something not present" I guess it depends on exactly how you define "experience" and "perception". But yeah there are better words than hallucination that are even more generic and do work better.
