They should.  But there have been situations where some didn't (mostly
involving Putty): https://nano-editor.org/dist/latest/faq.html#4.7

With the proposed two changes, I have pushed the patch set to master:

  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/commit/?id=f705a967
  https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/nano.git/commit/?id=7d483987

Thanks for the bracketed-paste-mode recognition patch.

I will update the FAQ to note the improved behavior.
