I don't do much work with vim, and even less in a terminal, so my answer might be totally wrong. But IIRC pasting with the middle mouse button in a terminal is handled by the terminal itself. It feeds the pasted text to the currently running program as a series of keystrokes and (in this case) Vim has no way to distinguish between those simulated keystrokes and your real input. I think this is one of the reasons behind the 'paste' option (see ":help 'paste'). You might also want to check if :set mouse=a helps. This tells Vim to use the mouse in all modes (except during the hit-enter prompt), but I don't know if it works for all terminals. You can more on this at ":help mouse-using". OTOH Gvim completely handles the mouse itself, so it sees the middle mouse click and translates it to a paste action. Depending on how the paste action is implemented mappings may or may not be disabled during its course.
