I discovered that this actually happens with ANY event that reduces the number of lines, which makes this a bit nastier. It doesn't have to be maximized:

1. Start a gnome-terminal with two tabs.
2. Run "seq 100" in both tabs.
3. Resize the window so that it's a few lines shorter.

The active tab will scroll lines off the top, so nothing is lost. The other tab will permanently lose a few lines from the bottom, as in the initial report.

Also note that the loss doesn't occur until you actually switch to the background tab. If you resize the window shorter, return it to the original size, and then look at the background tab, then nothing will be lost.
