Unfortunately, yes. Bart's version of menu-driven history (which he
posted a pointer to) does this because it uses a completion widget; but
using a completion widget gives you less flexibility about altering the
command line, so it can't fully emulate the "history-beginning-..."
behaviour.
As I briefly mentioned to zsh-workers, there is nothing so sophisticated
as an API to use the menu selection code for completion from outside it.
It would be nice to have, though.
