Yes, it is in common use now to mean that, and dictionaries are descriptive of common use. I think we are losing something to blur the meaning, as there is already another, commonly used and even more clear, phrase: to "raise the question". Imagine a large portion of the population interchangeably used "teal" and "cyan". It wouldn't be the end of the world, but a useful distinction would be lost, and dictionaries would start stating the two words are often used synonymously.
