Except for the bit about focus, I have only a bare idea of what you just said, though as a technical explanation I hope it will move things toward a solution.

But noting that other programs launch and run without such aberrations, it did cause me consider that I was launching lxterm via Ctrl-Alt-T.  When I launch with Alt-F2 + "xterm" the terminal window is normal.

Between your explanation and this additional fact, does this gain us something (other than a workaround)?

Looks like the window manager is not running and sub-pixel hinting has gone awry. The reason nothing appears when you type is because focus is not in the foremost window. When a window manager is not running, input goes to the most recently launched program, and not the foreground window as you'd expect.

My xterm windows on client machines are weird-looking under Lubuntu Quantal.  The characters are tinged with all the colors of the rainbow, and nothing appears as I type.

Anyone else experience this?

Following is a screen shot.  Note the colors in the characters, the vertical gray bar, and no window controls.  And again, nothing appears as I type, though if I hit Enter, what I typed is executed.

If I instead run "ltsp-localapps lxterm" to bring up a terminal within the native client session, that terminal is normal.
