I can confirm this; in fact, it's weirder than Phil says -- if the prompt
exactly fills the width of the screen, then the last character is not
printed and the first character typed goes at the far right of the screen;
the second character typed causes the first character to be re-echoed at
the left edge (on top of the first character of the prompt) and then the
second character appears next to it.

A ctrl-L clears all this up until the next prompt is printed.

None of this happens in 3.0.5.  Geoff, did we lose some zle_refresh code
in the transition?
