Upstream just released 5.6.2, which contains this patch.  You could just
wait for it to be packaged in sid.

If you'd like to build it yourself, then first of all thank you for the
willingness.  The procedure is documented on
http://ircbots.debian.net/factoids/factoid.php?key=package+recompile ;
between step 4 and step 5 you should apply the patch, such as by running
'patch -p1 < /path/to/patch' and edit the first line of debian/changelog
to read, say, 5.6.1-1+~foo1 instead of 5.6.1-1.  The plus-tilde
construct ensures that after you install the package you'll still
upgrade automatically to any future version.

The patch is 43446:
https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/commit/7c5241edf37fbafc9e1f833aede76c524ce62bcb.patch
(and http://www.zsh.org/mla/zsh-workers/43446)

Cheers,

Daniel
