I would be surprised if any Linux distribution does still use 7bit

Agreed, but in that case I would imagine 8-bit characters are more
likely to be meta characters than non-ASCII, and there's no way to
determine what they are anyway.
Thinking about it seems like current behaviour is somewhat dangerous
if something as innocent as pasting a compiler warning may result in
unexpected commands beeing executed.
I suspect that people using XEmacs in a terminal are likely to be
using compile or shell mode for compilation, in which case the paste
is actually a yank from the kill ring.
Otoh I do not think that many people expect the true meta key work
in a terminal.
I suspect that a lot of people over the age of, say, 45 do.
It's worth being conservative about defaults; changing them is likely
to really annoy a lot of people.
