"Beans are primarily carrier objects, used for passing encapsulated
data between application layers (model-view-controller or
architectural tiers)."
This description sounds a lot like a TransferObject to me (based primarily on "used for passing encapsulated data between application layers").
I'm fairly new to all of this "OO lingo", but I've concluded that calling an object a "bean" describes its structure and calling it a TransferObject (or ValueObject, or pick-a-pattern-name) describes how it is being used (its role) in the application.

I suppose it might provide some context to say that my perception of a
Bean came from this article at Mach-II.com, where a Bean is described
as:
Beans are primarily carrier objects, used for passing encapsulated
data between application layers (model-view-controller or
architectural tiers). They typically contain minimal business logic
(if any), and they have simple, consistent interfaces.
