Ok, I think I've fixed it. Please bear with me if the fix is not perfect
/ there's something wrong with it that I've missed, I'm no Python
developer nor I've ever developed for GNOME projects.
Here's the patch:

def server_appeared(self, con, name, owner):
# start gnome-terminal now
- Gio.Subprocess.new(['/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real',

+ Gio.Subprocess.new(self.args, Gio.SubprocessFlags.NONE)
def spawn_terminal_server(self, name, cls):
args = ['/usr/libexec/gnome-terminal-server',
The issue is with a superflous argument during the invocation of
`gnome-terminal.real` (as Egmont Koblinger mentioned) *and* with how arguments
are ordered before the invocation; self.args already contains
`/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real` (along with the list of arguments), so the fix
is to *not* inject another `/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real` + `--app-id=name` at
the start of the argument list and rather inject just `--app-id=name` after the
first element in self.args (hence after `/usr/bin/gnome-terminal.real`).
I haven't tested this extensively, but after the patch I can succesfully
start the server and invoke new instances passing `--class`.

Title:
gnome-terminal stopped accepting arguments: # Failed to parse
arguments: Too many arguments
Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
I have created a simple org.weechat.weechat-ssh.desktop to launch
gnome-terminal with an app-id, window title, etc using
gnome-terminal --window --disable-factory --class weechat-ssh --name
weechat-ssh --app-id org.weechat.weechat-ssh --title WeeChat -- ssh
-oControlMaster=no -i /home/jak/.ssh/weechat_ssh_id_rsa -o
IdentitiesOnly=yes -t weechat@10.0.0.1 -- tmux attach -dt irc
This stopped working with the (AFAICT) gnome-terminal:amd64 (3.52.0-1ubuntu2
-> 3.52.2-1ubuntu1) update.
Even reducing the argument list further breaks:
jak@jak-t14-g3:~/.local/share/applications$ $ gnome-terminal --window --class
weechat-ssh
# Failed to parse arguments: Too many arguments
jak@jak-t14-g3:~/.local/share/applications$ gnome-terminal --class
weechat-ssh
# Failed to parse arguments: Too many arguments
