You can work around this problem by going to System Settings -> Window Behavior -> Window Rules. Add a new rule called "Gnome-terminal workaround" which sets "Obey geometry restrictions" to "Force No".

Also, I'm ignorant whether gnome-* apps should even work under KDE at all... If I launch gnome-terminal in KDE, it is opened at normal size, and right away is resized to a tiny window, 264 x 80px (though final size seems to vary). This is always reproducable on this install and another machine at home (same versions though).
