I’d say they’re different to bone apple tea because that’s a nonsense phrase whereas these could conceivably stand in for the original.

Eggcorn in particular has somewhat replaced acorn in a region of the US where those words sound the same, and the reason it’s not wrong is because it is a corn - a seed - and it does have an egg shape in it, so “eggcorn” is descriptively accurate.
