The relevant GNOME bug is
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=31316 and while it's claimed
to work, it doesn't for me. Looking at the vte source
http://svn.gnome.org/viewcvs/vte/trunk/src/vte.c?revision=1910&view=markup there's a variable meta_sends_escape which is set by default, but it doesn't seem to be working.
