I have noticed the same problem with scim-anthy (for Japanese input), as well. This used to work, but when I don't remember. I don't see any recent package updates to either gnome-terminal, libvte-common or scim.
I don't seem to be able to reliably reproduce it, however, it appears at this time that the Japanese comma can tend to invoke the problem. Backspacing and retyping may also help, perhaps. At some random points, the currently-input text becomes an opaque white box (none of the text visible), and then later is visible again (after more typing). This is true of xfce4-terminal as well, which also crashes.
When running xfce4-terminal within gnome-terminal, I managed to get a "*** glibc detected *** xfce4-terminal: munmap_chunk(): invalid pointer: 0x08439c40 ***", followed by a "backtrace" that was not very informative (possibly because I don't have the debug symbols). After installing the debug symbols (for it and libvte), I was unable to reproduce that same crash. I also got "*** glibc detected *** xfce4-terminal: corrupted double-linked list: 0x0823aa20 ***" without a backtrace.
I also get random messages like (xfce4- terminal: 18241): Vte-WARNING **: Can not find appropiate font for character U+823a2c0." or "...for character U+0019" (the former could never be a valid Unicode character, the latter is Ctrl+Y).
I'm reassigning to vte, since the same problem is in xfce4-terminal.
