As you will know, some people deny too much individuation to the concept of idiolect. If only the speaker understands it, it may just be babble that sounds like language, as when parrots reproduce the sounds of words. But maybe you are speaking about the idiolect of language philosophers for whom the above example is eye-rollingly old.

Where on this spectrum does Husserl fall?

Note: I never studied him but friends were quite vocal about his redefinition of terms.

He certainly uses some words in specialized ways. A lot of philosophers do. I find Husserl very hard to understand (Being and Time is a breeze by comparison), but it's not because of terminology.
