It appears to me that gnome-terminal is trying to maintain the size of the window, no matter the number of lines within the terminal or how many lines the menu bar removes from the terminal. When the window first opens, it looks like it's 80x24, but then the menu bar appears and knocks off 1 or 2 lines.
