Copy-Paste in xfce4-terminal adds 0~ and 1~

I use xubuntu 14.04, 64 bit. Every now and then, when I try to paste some text in xfce4-terminal, instead of the expected text to be pasted, it is surrounded by 0~ and 1~, such as:
0~mvn clean install1~


The text is supposed to be mvn clean install -- I verified this by pasting the content in various other applications (gnome-terminal, gedit and others). Every application pastes correctly the content, except xfce4-terminal. I couldn't find any references for this on the internet (unfortunately, it is hard to search for text with special characters on google.com...). Why does this happen?

The issue is that your terminal is in bracketed paste mode, but doesn’t seem to support it properly. The issue was fixed in VTE, but xfce4-terminal is still using an old and unmaintained version of it.

You can try temporarily turning bracketed paste mode off by using:
printf "\e[?2004l"
