Yup, what you described wasn't perfect pitch, but being able to tell the
interval between one note and another.


Which should be trivial to a musician.

Trivial! Try humming some Stockhausen. Or even an improvised line to Giant
Steps. There's intervals and intervals, mate!

Let me quote from the original post which I responded to:
"I once asked my partner (musician) to stop me when
I had increased the sound from a Technics deck (with pitch sliders) by a
semitone by 'blind' listening alone".

So the test was to detect a rise of a semitone - a minor second. Trivial.

I've never sung Stockhausen though I have trodden in some. On the other hand
if you want proper microtonal music there's always Ligeti or Lutoslawski.
