I tried using localectl to set the local to en_US.UTF-8 before
rebooting, this did not fix the problem.
After rebooting, though, the problem seems to have cleared up.
I don't know if the issue is that the locales were not propely
generated (though I suspect not, becuase I didn't notice any issues
with firefox, uxterm, or sakura) or if they weren't properly set for
the gnome-terminals environment (seems more plausible).
But the issue does seem to be resolved.
I will probably be doing some more ubuntu installs in the near future,
I will report if I encounter this bug with subsequent installs.
