It might be because the multibyte input state never gets reset
(getrestchar() in zle_main.c).  How does this manifest itself?  Are you
unable even to generate a new line?  If you can, resetting the state for
each line would be enough.  Otherwise we could time out multibyte
characters and return, for example, a '?'.
