The mentioned terminals do support bracketed paste mode - but do it incorrectly. If they didn't support it all, you wouldn't see the bug.

The *real* problem here is Terminator using a 3 year old unmaintained version of vte (bug 1030562). The bracketed paste issue is just a manifestation of this core problem.

Vte received at least a hundred bugfixes since then (including data corruptions, crashes etc.), the bracketed paste mode fix not being anywhere near the most important ones. IMO it doesn't make too much sense to backport this single patch, it's a very bad use of developers' time. Instead, Terminator, Xfce4-terminal and any other Gtk2 terminal apps should be ported to Gtk3/vte3.
