Well, you just gave a reproducable test case :))

It is definitely a libzvt bug, compiling gnome-terminal with vte support
fixed the problem.. I suggest you fill a bug report on bugzilla.gnome.org
against libzvt. But don't expect it to be fixed, since mid-term plan are
to move from zvt to vte (I'm not sure I'll do that for 9.0, we'll see..)

And, FYI, rxvt has the same problem :))
