What is the exact English definition of Circe cage?

Implementation question: Consider the following position:
W: Ka2 Pg2
B: Kg4 Ph3

Popeye implementation says that e.g. g2xPh3[Pe6] is a legal move, 
because on e6 the pawn has no legal non-capturing moves. IMO this feels 
'wrong', e6 doesn't feel like a cage. Is this type of cage intended by 
the inventors?
