You can read/assign to HISTNO.  Something like this:

    with-saved-history-position() {
      typeset -g RESTORE_HISTNO=$HISTNO
      zle .$WIDGET "$@"
    }
    zle -N push-input with-saved-history-position

    zle-line-init() {
      [[ -n $RESTORE_HISTNO ]] && { 
	HISTNO=$RESTORE_HISTNO
	typeset -g RESTORE_HISTNO=''
      }
    }
    zle -N zle-line-init

(I'm beginning to think that zle-line-init should be a builtin widget
that calls an array of hook functions, ala precmd.)
