I have reproduced this with konsole and xterm, with vim 8.0.1453, 8.1.26, and 8.1.72. It happens for any character that showmatch would respond with, }, ), or ], if there isn't a matching left character, and so vim would do the visual bell if one was typing.
Vim get very confused and echoes all characters typed, even escape if typed twice. Except that, if one presses ctrl-c, the display freezes and vim goes CPU bound, with its memory usage bouncing up and down by a few MB, very slowly increasing. The only action I've found that will affect vim is a window resize, or a WINCH signal; sometimes that fills most of the screen with the two characters ^C. It's a bracketed paste problem, :set t_BE= to turn that off stops it happening. It's like the showmatch action is turned back on slightly too soon, and the sequences for the visual bell interfere with the end of the paste and the result is a mess.
