Public bug reported: I've just upgraded to oneiric. This is probably my first time trying Unity.
Starting a terminal creates no apparent window. However, a terminal is created (somewhere) and my focus is shifted to it. If I start a terminal and then type in "xclock", for example, despite not seeing that appear anywhere, an xclock instance will start up. I can even kill the xclock program with ctrl-c, so the terminal appears to be active. Typing "exit" removes the little white triangles next to the terminal application, so it must be ending the process then, too. I tried launching an xterm and running 'gnome-terminal' from within that, and I get the same results.
