Xterm title changing prompt problem: HELP!

This new thing I found is too kewl, but I need a little help.
It sets the Xterm title by echoing:
<ESC>]; put string here^G and then the rest of the prompt.
However, my right prompt is shifted to the left. I suspect
This is due to zsh keeping track of the length of the left
part of the prompt, then adjusting where to put the right one.
Should I just not have a right prompt? Or is there a way around
this?
PROMPT='];[%l] %n@%m %1v (%h) %t[%l] %n@%m %1v (%h) %t '
RPROMPT=' %~'
function precmd {
setopt no_ksh_arrays local_options
case "${${$(uptime)##*"load average: "}%%,*}" in
0.[0-4]*) psvar[1]='%^)' ;;
0.[5-9]*) psvar[1]=';^]' ;;
1.*) psvar[1]=';^|' ;;
2.*) psvar[1]=':^|' ;;
3.*) psvar[1]=':^(' ;;
[45].*) psvar[1]=':^O' ;;
[67].*) psvar[1]='|-P' ;;
*) psvar[1]='|-(' ;;
esac
}
