(Get the code!)

I'm absolutely sure it wouldn't. (It has a preliminary vte3 version, with many remaining bugs, but you might want to give that a try.) Someone might create an unofficial repo for this package, though.

I don't know whom to contact, sorry. You'd need to find someone in the Ubuntu team willing to patch vte2 and backport it to trusty. I hardly see any chance for this to happen, there are plenty of way more serious bugs going unnoticed/unfixed by Ubuntu developers. Maybe someone in the community would be happy to bring up a separate repository containing this bugfix, you could try to ask for help on various Ubuntu forums.
That's why I recommended the shell prompt hack, that's probably your best bet now.
(A note about the abbreviation you use: Terminator (the vte2-based app) as far as I know doesn't have the word "Gnome" in its name, yet you refer to it as Gnome Terminator, abbreviated with GT, which is damn easy to be confused with the vte3-based standard Gnome Terminal. To avoid confusion, I recommend to spell out "Terminator" or "Gnome Terminal" in this ticket.)
