Emacs terminal emulation always behaves as if bracketed-paste were in
effect, because it's not attempting to do live interaction with the
program running in the buffer -- that is, you do all your editing in
the emacs buffer without anything being sent to the shell, and then
when you finally press enter (or equivalent binding) it all gets
transmitted at once.

So emacs has no reason to recognize escapes that differentiate a paste
from any other kind of input.

No, not that I can think of.

These are among the reasons that I think bracketed-paste ought to have
been something you have to explicitly turn ON, rather than something
you have to turn off, but consensus went the other way.
