This is not a bug of gnome-terminal, but rather a limitation of X.

http://freedesktop.org/Software/xserver
Follow this upstream development project that may one day give us
"alpha blending" type wicked cool effects like this.  After xorg gains
this feature in the future, I suspect software like gnome-terminal may
need modification usptream to support it.  Talk to the upstream
authors at that time.

I cannot reproduce this with vte-0.11.10-7 and gnome-terminal-2.7.3-1
and xorg-x11-6.7.99.2-5. 

 gconftool-2 -R /desktop/gnome/background
 color_shading_type = vertical-gradient
 secondary_color = #687096
 primary_color = #8A94C6
 picture_filename = /usr/share/backgrounds/images/default.png
 picture_options = none
 picture_opacity = 100
 draw_background = true

So looks like its definitely notabug.
