<< Yet, "gnome-terminal -e mc" is totally different from "gnome-terminal
-e vim". This remains true even if "should applications be grouped in a
sub-block is ticked". So I go to click a launcher for vim, instead I
just get taken to an already open terminal running mc. >>

there exist a simple solution : edit your "mc" launcher, and use the option "don't steal taskbar icon"
in this way, it will not be confused with an existing gnome-terminal window.

Bug description:
If I use "launch in terminal", cairo-dock uses an xterm instead of gnome-terminal.  The only way around this I have found is to move xterm and create a symlink in /usr/bin "xterm"->gnome-terminal.  

That is very hackish.  Does no one who uses cairo-dock use terminal apps??!?

If you choose not to run in terminal and just set the command, eg "gnome-terminal -e mc", cairo-dock just counts this as a terminal and jumps to the nearest one instead of launching the command.

This makes it totally useless for my purposes, which is a shame.  Big big oversight people.
