I'm not sure how you get it duplicated, but it does look to me like it's
trying to do the same thing two ways, one with termcap, and one with
ANSI sequences, or whatever you've told it to use instead via
zle_highlight.

I'm not absolutely sure what I was doing, but I think I must have meant
to return if the termcap code was found, and only drop through after
that if it was an ANSI colour.  However, I'm not sure even that's
necessarily correct, it might be best just to try it in case the user is
smarter than termcap and has set up zle_highlight appropriately.

Any better theories...
