I ran typescript zsh.log, then ran zsh inside, control-Led, hit return a few times, and cat-ed a ReGIS image file. I can confirm that what you state happens: the image is cleared from the following line to the end of the screen. This appears to be due to zsh emitting a ^[[J before printing the prompt. I don't know why it does this. Does zsh sometimes write to parts of the screen below the current line?
