Same results:
[(ichirou:151:pts/33)~ %] which preexec
preexec () {
        print -Pn "\e]0;%m:%l   -   ${(z)1} \a"
}
[(ichirou:152:pts/33)~ %] printf '^[[32;40mwith quotes\n' 
[32;40mwith quotes
' with quotes
[(ichirou:153:pts/33)~ %] unfunction preexec
[(ichirou:154:pts/33)~ %] printf '^[[32;40mwith quotes\n' 
with quotes

Additionally, I will upgrade to 4.0.4 as well, but I don't believe that
will fix this current issue.
