Hmm... yes, except that I need the following 3 lines:

  autoload -Uz bracketed-paste-magic
  zle -N bracketed-paste bracketed-paste-magic
  zstyle :bracketed-paste-magic paste-init backward-extend-paste

otherwise characters are escaped even in single quotes.

If you mean that this is not possible to solve the problem
transparently, then this new feature and the solution should be
announced in the NEWS.Debian file, IMHO. Otherwise users don't
know that they have to update their .zshrc file.

Even the bracketed-paste feature alone is worth an announcement. For
instance, pasting a command with a new line at the end no longer works
as before; users may be surprised.
