Did you know that urxvt already supports "bracketed paste mode", which
can be enabled by some escape sequence and it makes urxvt surround
pasted text with some escape sequence so programs can detect it?  Look
it up in the utxvt(7) manpage.  Some editors already support this.
Maybe you should teach tmux to handle this.  (Note though that there
are two different such paste modes, probably each of them was invented
without knowing the other, and urxvt supports only one of them.)
