I feel it/they should be recorded somewhere, but I agree not here.

None of the above (other than "miner") are in JMdict
  Comments:
I also think that these are probably too niche and too compositional for a general purpose dictionary

It's not really "rare". It's just not used in the real word (i.e. outside video games).
But it's not widely used in gaming either. It's a character class in Final Fantasy, which explains the reasonably high n-gram count. I don't think it belongs in jmdict (or jmnedict). This is a general-purpose dictionary, not a Final Fantasy Wiki.
Also, given that we have an entry for 師, the meaning isn't difficult to deduce.

I don't think that note improves on the entry. Better to just tag it as rare so that people don't end up using it from reverse searches.

I was going to comment that given the number of WWW hits, it should be recorded somehow. It's not really a proper name - more a fictional occupation. The key thing is to avoid the impression that it's a synonym for 鉱山労働者 or 炭坑夫.
