It is a test compose of the Alpha. Alpha comes before Beta which comes before Final. For each of Alpha, Beta and Final, we do test composes and then release candidates. The first test compose of the Alpha is by definition the earliest and most likely-to-be-broken non-automated compose we ever create for a given release.
In fairness, many projects choose not to abuse nomenclature like this. Seeing announce messages saying ALPHA HAS GONE GOLD makes my skin crawl, too. Alphas are not gold anything.
It would be far more honest to just call this alpha 1.
Sorry, I don't get it - is the problem calling Alpha gold, as it's definitely not gold final release. What's the difference between Alpha and Alpha 1? You mean TCX should be Alpha X (and RC, "final" Alpha?). It was already stated that TCs are not for general public, so in this case it would be non-sense to release Alpha XYZ :)
