Question 3.24 "3.24. What's wrong with cut and paste on my xterm?" has:
myeit() When the shell is waiting for input, and you paste in a chunk of
text consisting of more than one complete set of commands.
Unfortunately, this is a much harder problem: the line editor is
already active, and needs to be turned off when the first command is
executed. The shell doesn't even know if the remaining text is input
to a command or for the shell, so there's simply nothing it can do.
However, if you have problems you can trick it: type `tt({)' on a line
by itself, then paste the input, then type `tt(})' on a line by
itself. The shell will not execute anything until the final brace is
read; all input is read as continuation lines (this may require the
fixes referred to above in order to be reliable).
Maybe update this to reflect the new 5.0.9 behaviour?

+ As of 5.0.9, this trick is not necessary on terminal emulators that
+ support the em(bracketed paste) feature (this includes most modern
+ terminal emulators). See the description of tt($zle_bracketed_paste)
+ in the tt(zshparam) manual page for details.
