This seems like a good workaround but I also found another one.  Add
this to your ~/.inputrc:

set enable-bracketed-paste Off

Then start vtysh again.  Pasting should work properly.  However, if
you're using sudo you will have to start vtysh using sudo -E because
without the -E your user's ~/.inputrc won't be read (this threw me off
initially).

I opened up a bug because I don't think bracketed paste will ever be
suitable for folks using vtysh to interact with FRR:
