Where's the opening bracket for this one?

I note that that unprotected sequence is 7 chars long, as is "cd /usr". :)
The problem is that when zsh does the completion list, when it returns
you back to your prompt, it does this by a combination of "move up"
and/or "move back" sequences. So it has to keep an accurate count of
where it was last. Unprotected escape sequences trick it into thinking
there were more (visible) characters in the prompt than there actually
were, and so it undercalculates the number of "move backs" it has to do.
After it gets to where it thinks the prompt was, it erases the rest of the line and re-types it ("cd /usr/src"), which is why you had two copies, one of which zsh wouldn't let you erase (because zsh thought you were already at the beginning of the prompt).
Let us know whether or not that fixes it for you! -Micah
