You should enclose your color definitions between '%{' and '%}'
From the manual page:
,-----[man zshall]
| PROMPT EXPANSION
| [...]
| Visual effects
| [...]
| %{...%}
| Include a string as a literal escape sequence. The string within
| the braces should not change the cursor position. Brace pairs can
| nest.
`-----
Try something like this
% ps_beg="%B%{$fg_bold[red]%}%(?..[%?] )%b%{$fg_no_bold[black]%}%n@%U%m%u:"
% ps_end="%1~>%{$fg_bold[default]$fg_no_bold[default]%}"
% export PS1="${ps_beg}${ps_end}"
I don't know if "%fg_bold[default]$fg_no_bold[default]" is
really necessary here ...
Btw, %b you mentioned is the end of bold output. See also the
manual page (man zshmisc search for PROMPT EXPANSION)
So long,
tkr
