I don't have a fast fix but I do recall what you're talking about.
I think the trick was to put non-printing characters (like escape
sequences) inside of "%{…}" sequences. That tells Zsh not to use
characters in that sequence as printable characters when calculating the
prompt width. I believe the same thing applies to both PROMPT and RPROMPT.
