There are many, many examples in the literature of code and tables being
labeled as "figures".  Here are but two examples obtained with 15 seconds of
searching on Google Books:

Code listing as figure:
http://books.google.com/books?id=Za1ypU8u9BAC&lpg=PP9&dq=%22Figure%205%22&pg=PA96#v=onepage&q=%22Figure%205%22&f=false

Table as figure:
http://books.google.com/books?id=Fsz234KPVz8C&pg=PT120&dq=%22Figure+5%22&ei=I4wUS8raFJjQNPHJ2ZQL#v=onepage&q=%22Figure%205%22&f=false

There is no confusion caused by using non-images in figures.  It is a common
idiom that people are used to.
