Not in this case.  You have specific behavior which doesn't match anyone else.  You should create a new user and check.  If you can still reproduce it, file a bug report.

Creating a new user made no difference, of course. Same behavior – launching via gnome3's activities or search starts the shell in the new account's home directory. Copying gnome-terminal.desktop into ~/Desktop, and launching it from the icon, launches the shell in /.

But I feel a little silly for overlooking the obvious fix: changing the icon to execute:

sh -c "cd $HOME; gnome-terminal &"

Now, on to finding an explanation for systemd spinning its wheels, doing absolutely nothing, for two minutes, on every boot…
