That's not what Ctrl-U does in vi or vim. It deletes from the cursor
back to the point where insert mode was started.

In the zsh documentation for vi-kill-line, exactly that behaviour is
described and that is what you get.

If that's not what you want, you can bind Ctrl-U to kill-whole-line or
kill-buffer or to whatever precise behaviour you want.
