Bug Description
In gnome-terminal 3.6 in Qantal and earlier, opening a terminal in new tab resulted in the current working directory of teh new new terminal being the same as cwd in the terminal where the new tab was opened - you get a new terminal in the same directory.
After upgrading to Raring and the GNOME3 PPA with gnome-terminal 3.8, this no longer works - the cwd of terminals in new tabs is always $HOME.

This probably wont get fixed for raring + PPA since it requires changes to bashrc.
As a workaround, add the following line to the end of ~/.bashrc:
. /etc/profile. d/vte.sh
