Successfully reproduced using these steps:

1) Ensure no terminals are open, and you're on some other application (e.g. firefox).

2) Open two terminal windows.

3) Switch back to the firefox window where you were in the beginning

4) Click on the terminal icon in the launcher. Both terminal windows come to the foreground.

5) Close one terminal window.

Expected results:
One terminal window closes, while the other terminal window remains in the foreground.

Actual results:
One terminal window closes, the other one disappears behind the firefox window. The user then has to click the terminal icon in the launcher again to bring the terminal window to the foreground.
