First of all, most applications in GNOME have a policy of supporting old
configuration and migrating it forward somehow, not least of which
because people often share gconf configuration between systems.  So at a
minimum, this bug still applies because gnome-terminal doesn't seem to
do that.

Second, as far as I can tell, if I set the keyboard shortcuts in
gnome-terminal through gnome-terminal's Edit->Keyboard Shortcuts...,
they work just fine.

And third, gnome-terminal fundamentally *can't* use the same keyboard
shortcuts as other applications, because gnome-terminal needs to pass
most keystrokes through to the terminal.
