The only phenomenon I've seen that behaves like that is nothing to
do with escape sequences in the prompt.  In zsh version up to 3.1.2,
if the `correct' length of the prompt changes -- e.g., if you have
the corrent directory in the prompt and then change directory -- then
ZLE can think the prompt has changed length without actually changing
what's on the screen.  Could that be happening here?  (This bug is fixed
in 3.1.2-zefram3.)

If that's not it, could you post your prompt setting please?
