I can confirm this behaviour in a fully updated stock-standard Lucid install. After discussing this issue with pitti, it is believed to be a case of compiz reading the metacity keybindings and doing something strange with them.

http://ubuntu.pastebin.com/SnG0nep0 contains the output of:
$ gconftool -a --ignore-schema-defaults /apps/metacity/global_keybindings

&

$ grep -A1 run_command_terminal /var/lib/gconf/debian.defaults/%gconf-tree.xml

Running:
$ gconftool -u /apps/metacity/global_keybindings/run_command_terminal
removes the ALT+T binding only until the session is restarted. Upon restarting the session, the ALT+T binding returns.
