Yep, it works fine with -f. But my .zshrc is pretty simple; it's
basically the one created by zsh following the interactive
"first-time user" setup.
I just created a default pristinely new user acct with no .zshrc
and running 'bindkey -v' makes my use case work as expected.
So yes, something is screwy. I think it's this:
% bindkey
...
"^[/" _history-complete-older
I have no idea where that cam from, but...

I'm working around it now with this in my .zshrc:
bindkey '\e/' vi-history-search-backward
