That'll be the single-instance logic, also present in wheezy.

In gnome-terminal master (GNOME 3.8) it's been redone to be a pure
client/server, and it'll never wait even if it was the first instance,
unless you use the new --wait option, in which case it will always wait.
When we get to 3.8, gnome-terminal.wrapper should probably use --wait
(or perhaps just be a separate, more-xterm-compatible client).
