If you're using UTF-8 character set, you need to execute "stty iutf8", so that a "stty -a" reports back "iutf8". For non-UTF-8, the command to be executed is "stty -iutf8" and accordingly "stty -a" should report "-iutf8". Gnome-terminal sets this according to the initial character set of the ter

I'm sure this behavior won't change. TAB is not a regular character, it is a control character, just like let's say escape sequences that move the cursor; copy-pasting doesn't include those either. It's a bonus that gnome-terminal tries to remember when a tab was emitted, most terminal emulators
