In the latest stable version of libvte for ubuntu (at least), there is a bug that prevents vte from writing the wtmp and utmp entries, making the wall, w, who, last, etc. programs unaware of the new terminals spawned.
A workaround for this problem can be found in the bug's report: lp:864609.
Essentially is execute this:
# cd /usr/lib
# sudo ln -s libvte9 vte
The bug is fixed for future versions of libvte.
