This is reproducible on the live desktop from ubuntu-12.04.5.iso running on a Thinkpad T42 (radeon graphics) - boot the iso, start xterm and the typed text is immediately corrupted with characters being replaced with white boxes, but dragging the window causes the boxes to be replaced by the expected characters. The problem does not seem to happen under gnome-terminal. As noted above, switching to Unity 2D seems to fix the issue.
