So, perhaps I can see something with zsh (without Ctrl-V first) and
Emacs because bracketed paste is enabled or something like that.

So, what is doing the writing?

Note that I get the same behavior with key "a" when I use

*VT100*translations:		#override \n\
	<Key>a:		exec-formatted("browser %s", PRIMARY)

so that the cause cannot be the window manager or some X driver
on special key + mouse button combination.
