} I wasn't either, where I've tried it

I suppose it's possible that this hunk of my patch is related:

If the highlight positions were not properly restored, highlighting might
reference non-existent parts of the line?  But then I would have expected
that incorrect highlighting would be a visible symptom in some cases.

In any event, Peter, I'd appreciate it if you took a closer look at that
particular change (zle_tricky.c) because it's the only one where I'm not
certain I was able to repeat the steps that caused the complaint after I
made the edit.
