(I was doing this to test something unrelated.) With this in place, run a command, then when ZLE resumes at the next prompt, start recalling commands with up-line-or-history. Note that they are highlighted. I'm not entirely sure but I believe this means the region is still active, not just that highlighting is confused. Is REGION_ACTIVE intended to persist in this way? Aside: The documentation for the zle_highlight "region" context discusses "calling set-mark-command with a negative numeric argument" and "exchange-point-and-mark with a zero numeric argument" but does not mention deactivate-region or assignments to REGION_ACTIVE.
