Thank you for the response, I understood that.

By the way, the control-character formatting routines can be found here
and there in Src/Zle/*.c.  While they convert 0x0a into the form of "^J"
and so on, it seems that which is only helpful in displaying C0
characters, not C1 characters.  Is this expected?

The actual code is as follows:

(snipped off Src/Zle/zle_refresh.c:1122 ...)
	} else if (line[t0] == 0x7f) {
	    *vp++ = '^';
	    *vp++ = '?';
	} else if (icntrl(line[t0])) {
	    *vp++ = '^';
	    *vp++ = line[t0] | '@';
	} else
	    *vp++ = line[t0];
