OK, then it seems that this doesn't work on mintty.  How to tell for
sure from within Emacs?  How does Emacs determine the capabilities of
the terminal?

I can only try with Emacs 24.5 at the moment and there pasting works
indeed correctly in a GUI frame, but not in mintty.

Mintty has implemented bracketed paste mode, but Emacs doesn't seem to
recognize and/or use it, then.  Feel free to split this off into another
bug.
