At least I thought so, what else could be the cause. But I just emerged
aterm, and the default is also to be not a login shell. There is a -ls
option for this, or the loginShell resource. Same as for xterm. So, there
should be no difference in those two shells. Maybe you started them with a
desktop shortcut that has extra options in it?
When debugging such things, I modify the startup files and add statements
like '[[ $- == *i* ]] echo .bashrc', so I see which ones get read. The [[
]] stuff makes this happen in interactive shells, so scripts are not
confused by the text output.
When starting one terminal from inside another, environment variables will

Still looks like login shell behaviour, or else ~/.bashrc should have been
read.

Did you run env-update.sh? This puts all the stuff in /etc/env.d/ into
/ect/profile.env.

Hmm. Does grep -r LC_ALL /etc find something?

Seems to be normal behaviour of the locale command.
Sorry, I don't know what's going on there.
