I understand that, it has always been that way (since i've used Macs anyway). It doesn't bother me especially so long as the text content is properly displayed. I tried iTerm2 but I didn't like it much. For me the default Terminal in Mac OS X renders a nicer display IMO. But then i spend little time on my Mac, mostly I just use my BSD machines and urxvt.
