I'm not sure it's a good idea to restrict the use of "intonation" to describing pitch patterns that don't convey syntactic information. I suppose if one did that, one would have to simply say "pitch" for what we are talking about here, unless there's another term available.
Come to think of it, you're right. It make sense to define "intonation" in purely phonetic terms (i.e. as pitch variation), and in that sense, it's certainly present here. It is possible that I got a mistaken idea about the common technical meaning of this term in my amateurish forays into these subjects.
