When the value of /system/locale/region in .config/dconf/user is no
longer in /etc/locale.gen, then gnome-terminal silently fails to open.
The expected behavior is that gnome-terminal still opens. It could use
the locale from /etc/default/locale.
A quick fix/workaround is: dconf reset /system/locale/region

What do you think about https://salsa.debian.org/gnome-team/meta-gnome3/-/merge_requests/15 as
a possible solution to this issue for Trixie?
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.

I think you're missing my point. Why should someone need to use the
command line to switch to a different language or regional format?
One of the gnome-terminal maintainers proposed a patch a year ago at https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-terminal/-/issues/7472 that
appears to fix your specific issue.
Thank you,
