Untrusted data being sent to a terminal emulator does not imply you are logged into an untrusted system with it. Users should be able to view arbitrary files through their terminal emulator safely, should be able to use IRC safely, should be able to use finger safely, etc.
There are enough people here reporting errors (having it hang with certain output, crashing X.org, etc) to cause me to be very wary of this. I am not confident it would stand up to a security review.
