Hmm, can see its annoying.

I don't think it is expected, middle click is supposed to focus the widget
under the cursor and paste.  It does when pasting to VTE from another
window, its just within the same window thats a problem although other
widgets such as scribble work as expected.

Luckily you can left click and then right click without losing the
selection as a workaround.

Should I file a ticket?

Yes, but I'm not sure if we can change it, depends how deep the behaviour
is buried in GTK/X windows/VTE.
