Not sure, but this is possibly fixed in 5.0.0-2 (of Debian Experimental):

   [ Frank Terbeck ]
   * [0b3b271c] Do not use echoti {smkx,rmkx} unconditionally
   * [ab84f082] Print directly from $terminfo instead of using `echoti'

Frank, can you confirm (or deny) that?

That's expected. zsh-beta is likely to vanish in the future and
already no more in sync with zsh's packaging.

_That_ sounds like a bug. zsh-static and zsh are expected to behave
identically as they're built from the same source package (while
zsh-beta is an independent source package).

Cc'ing the Debian Zsh Packaging Team as the zsh-static vs zsh
difference is possibly an issue which is still present in Debian's zsh
package, too. (And for the question to Frank above.)
