I found the trailing-space-cut-and-paste-annoyance mostly disappeared
when I changed my environment variable COLORFGBG from default;default
to black;16. (My background is actually white, but
COLORFGBG='black;white' gave me a light blue background. I found the
value 16 by trial and error.)
Now I can copy and paste non-quoted text with no problem, but the
problem still occurs if I paste quoted text (which is blue on white).
My .muttrc has:
color normal black default
color quoted blue default
Mutt 0.95.6i, using slang 10202

I had problems getting a white background with my mutt, compiled with
slang. Apparently I solved the problem by putting this in .profile:
export COLORFGBG="default;default"
So, try setting COLORFGBG to 'default;default'. This might get you a
white background at the cost of introducing you to the famous "cut and
paste annoyance". You might be able to get a white background while
avoiding most of the famous annoyance by using black;X where X is some
natural number to be determined experimentally ...
