Appears to be a unique stack trace, according to the simple-dup-finder. Setting version->2.2.x, marking priority->high & severity->critical (it's a crasher), adding the GNOMEVER2.2, STACKTRACE (due to debugging symbols), and bugsquad keywords, and marking as new.
Do you have accesibility turned on? In that case, does this consistent crashing persist after you turn accessibility off? (to turn it off you need to go to /Applications/Desktop Preferences/Accesibility/Assitive Technology Support in GNOME 2.4, at least)
I don't have accessibility turned on at the moment, but did at the time of the crash. I get occassional crashes of gnome-terminal closing it (see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=123147 for example, although this might not be related.) but it's very rare. The above crash occurred at home and I haven't got a11y on there (as far as I know). Sadly, I'm not sure that turning a11y on or off would help as the crashes are so infrequent that I wouldn't notice it for some time.
It turns out I have got a11y on on my machine at home, and each time I close the last instance of gnome-terminal it crashes. So, I can reproduce this (or at least I'm pretty sure I can) and I'll do a little more testing tonight to be sure.
I actually figures out that this was related to accessibility and when enabled would cause gnome-terminal to crash on closing the final window. However, I can't reproduce this on gnome-2.5.3 so I'm going to close it.
