As of 5.0.8 you can do this with:

    backward-kill-shell-word() {
      zle select-in-shell-word
      ((++CURSOR))  # adjust for vi vs. emacs region
      zle kill-region
    }

I'm not sure if that CURSOR adjustment is a a bug or just a necessary
evil because of using vi binding in the emacs keymap.
