I tried to clarify that entry.

The mode is always turned off by default; Emacs automatically turns it
on if the terminal supports it.

Do you see the indentation happen when you paste into a GUI session?
I don't think this happens on GUI frames; in particular, I cannot
reproduce Alan's original report when I paste the text he provided
into a GUI frame.
AFAIK, this problem is specific to pasting into a TTY frame, so the
bracketed paste mode is indeed relevant.
