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.
