(Get the code!)
Okay, so I verified that, while blowing away my gnome-terminal config and restarting GNOME does not eliminate the problem, a fresh new account does not exhibit the symptoms.
The difference appears to be that my normal account is set up to use the SCIM X Input Method. On a fresh account, if I do an "im-switch -s scim", and then restart that user's GNOME session, I am then able to reproduce the symptoms on that account, using the steps I described. So, the issue is likely that gnome-terminal mishandles something related to XIMs (though, it _could_ be SCIM-specific).
People that use gnome-terminal and need to type in relatively exotic (usually, Asian) characters, will likely experience this problem, while folks who can get what they need from ASCII characters and maybe dead-letter keys or combination keys, probably won't.
