This is a request to change one of the default key bindings in
bibtex mode. TAB is bound to bibtex-find-text. This causes an
error when pasting text containing a tab character into a
terminal-based emacs. Tab characters are often used for
formating in bibtex files, in particular in the output of the
conversion utility bibutils.
I suspect that bibtex-find-text is rarely used, since it does
almost the same thing as C-e in most cases. I would suggest
having tab self-insert, and leaving bibtex-find-text without
a key, or possibly finding a new key combination for bibtex-find-text.

Does your terminal not support bracket paste?

Cool, I didn't know about that! Enabling bracket paste
in my .emacs solves the problem. It would still be nice to have
it work by default, either by changing the TAB binding or by
making bracket paste on by default.
Thanks.

I think this is already the case. From NEWS.25:
** Emacs now uses "bracketed paste mode" on text terminals that support it.
[...]
Bracketed paste mode is disabled by default, so Emacs automatically
enables it at startup if the terminal supports it.
So I guess this bug report could be closed?
Best regards,
