Is it really that big of a deal?
In this instance, T-47's being the snowspeeders Luke's ground-effect airspeeder defense group were about to fly into combat (and thus wouldn't be being loaded on anything) makes no sense, would be the last thing on a medical droid's mind, and the link drawn between the term and the item subtly damages the fabric of that constructed universe.

Also, at this point in the film when the conversation happened, the Rebels were evacuating,.....Luke was getting ready to jump into his X-Wing or something,....immediately after the med scene, the Rebel command are alerted that a group of Star Destroyers had jumped out of Lightspeed,.....and only then, after Reiken announced to get ready for a ground assault, were the Speeders needed
If you had a bunch of heavy weaponed vehicles that could help you later on, would you leave them behind? They work in other environments others then snow too!

Back in Echo Base, one of the Rebel officers is telling a subordinate that "groups seven and ten will stay behind to fly the speeders".

Does anyone else think she looks a little Jake Lloyd-ish in that pic? Her outfit and the look on her face...
Personally, I wouldn't store a lightsaber on my person with the emitter facing upwards.
