This is intentional, zle -M passes everything through the equivalent
of the parameter expansion (V) flag and always has. The main reason
for this is to prevent the message from causing zle to lose track of
the cursor or have part of the other output scribbled over. This is
also true of strings sent to zle -R.
Depending on what you're actually attempting to accomplish, there may
be an alternative to "zle -M".
