I don't know if it's relevant, but my Xdefaults looks like this

XTerm.VT100.translations: #override \n\
Ctrl Alt <Key>C: copy-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
Ctrl Alt <Key>V: insert-selection(CLIPBOARD) \n\
[...other stuff...]

In particular, do note the "\n" after #override, which isn't present in
your snippet. This works fine for me.

Also, vi(1) is showing \xc2\xa0 before your lines, which I don't know
if it's product of your MUA or if it's actually part of the file (it's
a non-breaking space, aka &nbsp; in XML/HTML), do double-check the
whitespaces in there.
