How are you copy-n-pasting?  If you are using a vim with the X11 and
xterm-clipboard features enabled, have mouse=a, and are pasting with
a mouse in a suitable terminal such as GNOME Terminal or xterm, Vim
will detect that you are pasting and disable mappings.

I usually use vim without X11 from a terminal and the TERM var may be set to linux (for Linux), dtterm (for Solaris), xterm-color (for OS X) or screen (within GNU screen).

This is automatic if Vim is properly configured and used with a
proper terminal.
