I just tried it, with zsh-3.16, logging in from a remote location. The arrow keys don't work for me as expected; I get a bunch of blanks, sometimes a previous "user" history item; I can no longer move back over the line with the arrow-left or erase with backspace. I suppose all these key bindings have changed, or are being variously affected by terminal emulations and so forth. So it's different from when I last tried it, but not quite right.
