I took a quick look at this yesterday. When you print region_highlight
and "fg=default" comes out as "none", that's a bug in the printing
logic (function output_highlight in Src/prompt.c). It's fairly easy to
fix -- patch below (only for fg; bg should be handled similarly).
Naturally, it doesn't solve the other issues you've described. I
haven't looked at why the highlight doesn't get applied as it should
be.

P.S.

zsh-workers is the correct mailing list for this discussion.
