xdg-terminal does not work when gsettings is used to get the default terminal

Hi!
I'm trying to open the default terminal using xdg-terminal in MATE. However, when I execute xdg-terminal I get the following output:
xdg-terminal: configured terminal program ''mate-terminal'' not found or not executable
It turns out that, in MATE, xdg-terminal uses the following code to get the default terminal:
gsettings get org.mate.applications-terminal exec
(see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xdg/xdg-utils/tree/scripts/xdg-terminal.in#n85)
However, this command in MATE returns:
gsettings get org.mate.applications-terminal exec
'mate-terminal'
Thus, xdg-terminal tries to execute 'mate-terminal' instead of mate-terminal, which is the cause of the bug.
This happens regardless the terminal that I choose to be the default:
xterm: $ gsettings get org.mate.applications-terminal exec 'xterm'
konsole: gsettings get org.mate.applications-terminal exec 'konsole'
Hence, I think that xdg-terminal just need to remove '' from the returned string and execute it.
Additional information about my system:
