Use "gvim" instead of "vim" in a Terminal. The problems arises because 
vim in the terminal simply gets the input and "thinks" that you typed 
that stuff in, for which it does auto-indenting. gvim, OTOH, doe sthe 
pasting by itself. It also has other useful features like menus and 
popup-dialogs for searching etc.
