Yeah, but isn't that more of a euphemism? Germans also often say they are tired (müde) when they are actually sleepy (schläfrig), but that doesn't change the meaning of each word. The standard meaning of تعبان is still "tired", which is very different from "sick", and it wouldn't make sense for the course makers to confuse learners with a dialect usage of it.
