Nitpickers delight!

My Webster's Encyclopedic Unabridged (how's that for a pretentious title) says:

Biannual - 1. occurring twice a year; semiannual. 2. occurring every two years; biennial.

Hmm...

I would take that to mean that twice a year is the (at least slightly) preferred meaning, but those that would prefer to speak with unambiguous precision would use semiannual.

Like I said earlier, "the nitpickers thread". And lovers of good language take delight.
