That's the new bracketed paste system supoport. Emacs is correctly
sending the terminal the sequence to enable bracketed paste mode, but
isn't correctly the start sequence. I hope we don't have to make this
feature conditional.

OP, what's in *Messages*? If you M-x trace-function-background
xterm-paste, do you see messages in *trace-output*? What happens if you
manually type ESC [ 2 0 0 ~ ?
