A question on this site asked whether a one-component system is at equilibrium when melting or boiling, and the disparate answers were somewhat dependent on the definition of phase equilibrium. Another question asks whether two phases can ever exist in equilibrium at the boiling point. The term "phase equilibrium" seems to imply that under certain conditions, a one-component system with two phases is indeed at equilibrium.
Searching for the definition of phase equilibrium, I found these two:
Definition 1
Phase equilibrium is the study of the equilibrium which exists between or within different states of matter namely solid, liquid and gas. Equilibrium is defined as a stage when chemical potential of any component present in the system stays steady with time.

Definition 2
Phase equilibrium is the state of thermodynamic system, in which the different phases of the substance having common boundary surfaces do not vary quantitatively.

Implications of the distinct definitions
According to definition 1, water present as two phases at the melting point would be at equilibrium even if slowly melting isothermally. According to definition 2, the same situation would not be called equilibrium because the amount of ice is decreasing over time (and thermodynamic parameters such as entropy and inner energy are changing over time).
Phase rule
For the mentioned system, the phase rule specifies one independent degree of freedom (you can change one intensive parameter, say temperature, and all other intensive parameters, in this case just pressure, will be determined, given that the system is supposed to be at equilibrium). Because it is a one-component system, the concentrations (or activities) are constant and are not a degree of freedom. If you are used applying the equilibrium concept to solution chemistry, this is somewhat unusual.
Question: What is the official definition of phase equilibrium, and how does it apply to a one-component system where the chemical potentials are independent of the mole ratios?
