Forgot about LBUFFER, thanks! I have two tools, and it is interesting
that in one (n-history) doing LBUFFER+="$var_with_long_text" causes
highlighting to correctly work (and also solves the lag issue) whie in
other tool (n-kill) it doesn't trigger highlighting. I made the two
responsible code blocks identical (I do zle redisplay and zle
kill-buffer before zle -U / LBUFFER+=), even hardcoded the text:

LBUFFER+='a=; a=${(r:100000::_:)a}...'

and it still behaves this way. Both tools use emulate -L zsh, also
tried emulate -LR zsh. Luckily, I need LBUFFER+= only in the one tool
that works.
