With me it pastes correctly at step 2; however my system locale in bash
(and therefore in the terminal) is en_US.UTF-8 (most specifically,
LC_CTYPE is unset but LANG is set to that value), so the konsole
terminal and Vim both know that strings are pasted in UTF-8. I also make
sure that 'encoding' is UTF-8 in my vimrc, more or less as described in
http://vim.wikia.com/wiki/Working_with_Unicode

Specifically, the line pasted in Console Vim is as follows:
Vim est un éditeur de texte, c'est-à-dire un logiciel permettant la
manipulation de fichiers texte.

I'm using vim 7.3.806 (own-compiled from Bram's sources), Huge build
running either in GUI or Console mode (for this test, as "vim" in a
console terminal), running on openSUSE 12.1 x86_64. The Vim build is
also 64-bit, as can be seen from the link log, where I get warning
messages starting with "skipping incompatible" for 32-bit libraries in
/usr/lib/


Best regards,
