The issue — and I don't know if you've read the entirety of the earlier part of this discussion — is that this is the only televised episode which is not disambiguated with the dab term (TV story).

So the question really is, why should this episode be disambiguated differently than every other one? And lest you say, "Well it was a movie", remember that it's the same length as The Five Doctors — or, rather, The Five Doctors (TV story). And almost every serial was longer than the TVM.
