For the last couple of days, I've been running xfce and using

  Pasting this text to the terminal may be dangerous as it looks like

That one was from a log owned by lfs:root, and the text was:

********************************************************************

But I also get this for a line from a term running as ken:

ken@plexi ~ $ls -l notes/testing/august-19/pygtk

On desktops I mostly run icewm, but on my laptop I use xfce (it
solves copy+paste issues with the trackpad) and I've not seen this
message there.  I'm guessing it might be aconsequence of using
elogind ?


No, it hast nothing to do with elogind, as I get the message, too and don't use elogind.

You can easily disable it by Menu->Edit->Preferences->General->Clipboard-> Show unsafe paste dialog

That's what I did....

Not every paste into xfce-terminal on this desktop generates this,
but so far most of them do.
