I had issues with terminal like this a while back; opening up 
~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.Terminal.plist, I found that an entry 
entitled "ExecutionString" contained instructions to cd to a particular 
directory, probably left there by an applescript that I run as a finder 
extension (opens terminal in the directory you are currently viewing). 
In the event that that directory no longer exists, well... problems 
happen. Deleting the contents of that entry solved the problem.
