No, sorry, not.

It was a series of big patches heavily modifying the behavior. They're
clearly not suitable to be backported to a stable distro. There's no
self-contained tiny fix available for this problem. And since it's fixed
in mainstream gnome-terminal, I have absolutely no interest in putting
any effort into this.

You've just reported this bug towards trusty (1.5 years old) and precise
(3.5 years old). I can't remember anyone ever reporting the same issue
before, so it's apparently not an important one.

There are way more important vte issues in Ubuntu's bugtracker with one-
line fixes that noone cares backporting.

It's fixed in Wily, and Xenial LTS is out in less than half a year.

Fixed packages for trusty are probably available from Gnome3 staging. Or
you can use any other emulator as a workaruond for the time being.

And, anyways, iso2022 is a terrible encoding, and everybody should've
switched to UTF-8 a long time ago.
