gnome-terminal uses a client/server split, the latter is activated via
D-Bus. dbus-daemon generally doesn't
know about .service files installed in the jhbuild prefix, so it fails
to find it.

The following workaround should work:
me@ubuntu:~/jhbuild/checkout/gnome-terminal$
$JHBUILD_PREFIX/libexec/gnome-terminal-server & gnome-terminal

Cheers,
Florian
