Berakhah levatalah sounds like a description of the "cheftza" of the
berakhah. Not gavra-specific.

And what would be levatalah, the mevoreikh's kavvanah to be motzi
him?

Safeiq berakhos lehaqeil is sometimes explained as safeiq deOraisa
lechumerah where the deOraisa is sheim Hashem lashav. Along those lines,
one could theorize that as long as the sheim wasn't said lashav, it's
not a berakhah levatalah.

Tir'u baTov!
