I can't reproduce the issue. On my system, x-terminal-emulator is set to /usr/bin/gnome- terminal.wrapper. Is it the wrapper you mentioned?

This is not expected by x-terminal-emulator, and so breaks the usage of the terminal as fallback when the X11 session failed on startup. [ Test case ] When gnome-terminal is set as x-terminal-emulator (ensure this with update-alternatives --query x-terminal-emulator), launch (from a terminal): x-terminal-emulator -geometry 80x24+0+0 A terminal emulator should open in the top-left corner, and it should stay open until you don't hit Ctrl+C from the launching terminal. [ Regression potential ] None known, possibly a failing launched X session could stay in black screen instead of returning back to gdm promptly.
