I have also seen examples where common-time meant 4/2. I don't have music sheets handy, but, e.g., in "dtv-Atlas zur Musik", page 82, there's an excerpt from Monteverdi's Aria of Orfeo (1607) that shows this usage. But if you look up "alla breve" (cut-common) in the same encyclopedia, then you find more or less the same explanation you gave above. Go figure...
