3.0.0: cut-and-paste of multiline constructs is insane

I think this has something to do with the new refresh code. Type this into
your zsh running in a standard xterm:
zsh% function fourlines {
> echo 1
> echo 2
> echo 3
> echo 4
> }
zsh%
Now call it back with C-p so you see:
zsh% function fourlines {
echo 1
echo 2
echo 3
echo 4
}
Now cut everything from "function" through "}" and paste it into an editor.
You get something like the attached (look at the text in a window that
either does NOT autowrap or is NOT 80 columns wide). Note that there is a
remarkable shortage of newline characters in the pasted text.
