That's vi compatible behaviour.  (Vim does it too in its Vi-compatible
mode, see :help 'backspace' there.)  You can avoid it by binding your
backspace key to backward-delete-char rather than vi-delete-char:

eval "$(bindkey -M viins -L | sed -n -e 's/vi-backward-delete-char/backward-delete-char/p')"

Cheers,
