Ah, yes, with -f it works. Silly me, I had a preexec which looked like

	preexec () {print -Pn "\e]0;%n@%m: $*\a"}

and apparently the %s got caught by the prompt expansion, causing output
beyond the xterm escape sequence. I splitted it up in two print's 
(one with -P and one without) and now it works :)
