@kyleabaker: if the value of /desktop/gnome/applications/browser/exec isn’t picked up correctly, then that’s definitely a flaw in the implementation and you should indeed re-open the bug for unity developers to look into it.
Note that as I understand it, the whitelist mechanism is there only as a fallback, so if the primary mechanism worked as expected, one could set her "Browse the web" shortcut to launch a terminal.
