Hi No, it needs to be encoded somehow in case the copied text contains control characters. If you are sure it won't you could modify tmux to skip the base64 (look for b64_ntop in tty_set_selection)
You will never get control characters by copying using copy mode except for newline, so I don't know what you mean when you say "tmux filters out the escape characters". You can send to the terminal directly using the passthrough escape sequence (see the FAQ).
