How to reproduce the problem: Use "dpkg-reconfigure locales" for adding a
locale, then select that locale in gnome settings, and then use
"dpkg-reconfigure locales" for deleting that locale. No need to logout+login.

The expected behavior is that gnome-terminal still opens, like any other
application still opens.
