Turns out the online service was just a little slow to update, and there are in fact reports sent. But the only one post-20.04-upgrade is [1] from last week, which is a gnome-shell crash and IIRC, unrelated to the terminal issue here. It seemed to be triggered by something related to media files and Nautilus, and the logs from the time are different; I’m attaching them here. (I had separated gnome-shell logs out from the main syslog, but I’ve since reverted back to having everything in syslog.)

Thanks for the instructions, Daniel! I found no crash files either locally or online, so I’ve implemented the workaround now, and will try to trigger the crash again.
For future reference, this was probably Ubuntu bug #1875558 (”libproxy1-plugin-gsettings triggers a lot of warnings”).
Since upgrading to 20.04 and switching to Wayland, Gnome terminal occasionally crashes. I interpret the corresponding logs to mean that it’s actually Wayland that fails to do something in the background, which then takes down Gnome terminal:

touko 08 11:35:16 saegusa systemd[4153]: gnome-terminal-server.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
I have yet to nail down the precise circumstances, as this has (so far) been somewhat rare, having occurred perhaps once or twice a week.
Since the log mentions pointer, I should perhaps mention that I’ve set `org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences` > `focus-mode` to `mouse`. Gnome terminal also exhibits other misbehaviour wrt. to this, occasionally refusing to get focus, or alternatively losing the focus, despite mouse cursor being over the terminal window.
Boinc-client logs ”No protocol specified” incessantly, twice every second on my setup.
