There are terminals that immediately scroll upon a newline being
written after the last column, especially if it is the last column of
the last line (which is where the prompt most often is).  So sometimes
a double-increment may be necessary, and its hard to tell when.

This is why for years we tried to limit everything to 1 column less
than the exact width.

Presumably ZLE_RPROMPT_INDENT=0 helps in that case?
