I can't see any reason for needing this behaviour, so a quick fix would be to just add 'noflowcontrol' to the 'setopt' line near the start of the function.

Hm.  The problem with that is that people who want flow control
suddenly lose it.

The doc for "emulate" says:
     If the -R switch is given, all settable options are reset to their
     default value corresponding to the specified emulation mode, except
     for certain options describing the interactive environment;

I wonder if flowcontrol should be considered an option "describing the
interactive environment" and therefore should not be reset by "emulate
-R".  That would be a change to long-standing behavior, of course, but
is there an obvious case where it would really matter?
