Thanks for your report. I can confirm this behaviour. setting to
triaged/low

** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
   Importance: Undecided => Low

** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Triaged

** Description changed:

  Using ANSI escape sequences you can change the cursor color from the command-line, like so:
-         echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G";
+         echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G";
  Where 'ESC' and '^G' are the single characters: escape and control-g. After doing this when you switch tab and back again the cursor color will have changed to black.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. Open a gnome terminal
+ 2. Open a second tab (CTRL+SHIFT+T)
+ 3. On the first tab enter the following sequence on the prompt:
+  $ echo "ESC]12;rgb:8000/8000/8000^G";
+ Where:
+ ESC = CTRL+V CTRL+ESC
+ ESC = CTRL+V CTRL+G
+ => The cursor color will change to grey
+ 4. Switch to the second tab then back to the first tab
+ 
+ Result:
+ The cursor color changes to black.
