Thanks for the bug report and for refering to the according upstream
bug-report/thread. This seems to be fixed now upstream in this commit:

commit 07ad7fd97086e108c87bf87b23d919365ff10c5c (HEAD -> master, origin/master, origin/HEAD)

    Fix windowsize when reattaching to terminal on process exit

Depending if there will be a 5.6.2 until the next zsh upload to Debian
or not, I will cherry-pick this commit into the package.
