The short answer is no, there is not.  There was a long thread about
this on zsh-workers earlier this year, search "curious incident of the
feep".

As written your widget discards multi-line structures if invoked at
the PS2 prompt.  If that's intentional you can replace with:

commit_to_history() {
  print -rs -- ${(q)${(z)BUFFER}}
  BUFFER=''
  if [[ -n $PREBUFFER ]]
  then zle accept-line
  else zle send-break
  fi
}

If you would prefer to capture multi-line structure at PS2,

commit_to_history() {
  local fullbuffer="$PREBUFFER$BUFFER"
  print -rs -- ${(q)${(z)fullbuffer}}
  BUFFER=''
  if [[ -n $PREBUFFER ]]
  then zle accept-line
  else zle send-break
  fi
}
