The history is reflected in the thread leading up to zsh-workers/12485.
An EOF generated by ^D never used to get to ZLE at all, and this was
deemed annoying because it meant you couldn't override it with a user-
defined widget.

So 12485 changed it to be handled by zle, but then if you DON'T have a
user-defined widget, it never exits.

I haven't checked your patch to see how it interacts with user-defined
widgets bound to the EOF character.  As long as it doesn't revert us back
to the days when that wasn't possible, you can probably apply it.
