Try to see what you're actually pasting.

What happens if you do:
(1) highlight & copy the text using the same method - i.e. same mouse buttons, 
    same source of text (html/pdf/...), same environment 
(terminal/browser/...), 
    etc - as when it went wrong.
(2) vi -i
(3) do the paste using the same method - i.e. use same mouse button (I think 
you 
    said middle-click), etc - as when it had gone wrong.
(4) save to a filename /tmp/tstpst or similar.
(5) cat -A /tmp/tstpst  # or 'od -c /tmp/tstpst', or similar.
(6) Post here the output from preceding step; delimit it above & below with 
    '----'  .
(7) Does the output from step '(5)' look clean?
