Hum.
I can reproduce this right now. I'm unsure where I went wrong before.
But since mika couldn't get the problem triggered either, I don't feel
too bad. ;)
I'll look into it. Thanks for reporting. (It might take a while, unless
someone else from upstream jumps in.)

For the record:
a) Start a blank shell (zsh -f)
b) export LANG=de_DE (*not* POSIX)
export LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8
...or whatever language you like, just the UTF-8 locale in
`LC_ALL' and the non-UTF-8 locale in `LANG'. Both locales
should probably exist on your system. So check "locale -a" and
update `/etc/locale.gen' and run `locale-gen' if needed.
c) Type two multibyte characters, like `รถ' (o with diaeresis).
d) Type backspace four time.
e) See the cursor erase parts of your prompt.
f) Rant about locales in your native tongue.
