e1c0a947cc845c71dd844db44016d07922cfcefa is the first bad commit
commit e1c0a947cc845c71dd844db44016d07922cfcefa

    Read full multibyte string early for self-insert


You'd need to revert both
8a818381cfa843f6bdc25e3517500da31d63c282
e1c0a947cc845c71dd844db44016d07922cfcefa
and then it works fine again. I'll also note that pasting multibyte
text still works with my simple bracketed-paste-url-magic widget with
those commits reverted.
