It has 14 new episodes. That's a season's worth of new episodes.
It's a second season aired alongside the original season, really.
The main reason this terminology was disputed before is because Kyoto Animation and Kadokawa didn't want to call it that. Well, looks like they're letting Bandai call it that, so as far as I'm concerned, the episodes that first aired in 2009 constitute a second season now. That's a much simpler and more straightforward way of referring to them anyway.
"Lost Episodes" could come across as implying that these episodes were made four years ago, and left on the cutting room floor until today.

Well, I wouldn't really care, except that it's adding to the confusion about episode order and stuff, that was partly because of the achronological first part. I was all for calling it the second season when I first saw it, but there have been a lot of people going "wtf?" about it since then. It's unusual for a second season to fit within the first season chronologically and while still maintaining the flow of the narrative.
But maybe the content of the discs will make it clear how it all fits together, and it won't be problematic.
