This is definitely not a gnome-terminal bug. It's either the locale system, or powertop.

The correct canonical value is LANG=en_US.UTF-8 with a hyphen. You're better off using this one rather than anything else.

For figuring out what's going on with the locale system, you should use the commands "locale" and "locale charmap". If these return errors then your settings are incorrect. If these return UTF-8 then it's a bug in powertop (I assume it manually looks for the string "UTF-8" in the locale settings, rather than relying on the correct way of figuring it out which is setlocale() followed by nl_langinfo(CODESET)).
