"man readdir" also says:
Currently, only some filesystems (among them: Btrfs, ext2, ext3, and
ext4) have full support for returning the file type in d_type. All
applications must properly handle a return of DT_UNKNOWN.
You need to do an lstat in this case, as you said. This is the expected
behavior.
This has absolutely nothing to do with gnome-terminal.
