I've fixed it; many years ago I stuck this in my ~/.Xmodmap to make
xterm paste on Insert:

    keycode 118 = XF86Paste

Removing that and restarting X fixes it.

Or alternatively, this makes st paste on XF86Paste:

  Shortcut shortcuts[] = {
    [..]
        { XK_ANY_MOD, XKB_KEY_XF86Paste, selpaste, {.i = 0} },
  }

Also had to add this to st.c:

  #include <xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h>

Thanks again. st is great software, and I'm happy to finally ditch
xterm.
