Nevermind, I found the issue: it seems it's this bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-terminal-app/+bug/1431427

In short, I was using the latest terminal build from a daily recipe on my
personal PPA, where I've been building the latest branches of core apps, as
some of them needed fixing in the PPA (right now, except for Clock,
Terminal and Weather, they should all have the latest versions in the core
apps PPA). When I added the core apps PPA, I was then hit by bug #1431427.

Cheers,
David.
