This is not a problem of bash behaviour, it's a problem in the command launcher when you create a shortcut in the environment.
To test it, I created a shortcut with: gnome-terminal -t "Python 2" -x bash -l -c python2 (attached to the combination ctrl-alt-2) Then, I hit ctrl-alt-2, a terminal appeared with the python2 interpreter on it (all ok) but still didn't have the bash environment variables declared in the .bashrc (wrong, which is what this bug is about). So, I reopened the bug.
