Title:
  Auto-completion via bindkey "^[[A" not working in zsh 5.0.0-1ubuntu1

Status in “zsh” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  My .zshrc file contains the lines

  bindkey "^[[A" history-beginning-search-backward
  bindkey "^[[B" history-beginning-search-forward

  to do a incremental forward/backward search. This stopped working when
  installing Ubuntu 12.10.

  To make sure that this is not caused by a broken configuration I did a
  clean install in VirtualBox where I was able to reproduce the problem.

  What I found out is that searching using up/down keys does work in
  zsh-beta and zsh-static but NOT in zsh (installed versions  etc. see
  below). Binding the function to different keys also works.

  hsp-VirtualBox% dpkg -l|grep zsh
  ii  zsh                                       5.0.0-1ubuntu1                            amd64        shell with lots of features
  ii  zsh-beta                                  4.3.17-dev-0+20120621-1ubuntu1            amd64        A shell with lots of features (dev tree)
  ii  zsh-lovers                                0.8.3-0ubuntu2                            all          tips, tricks and examples for the zsh
  ii  zsh-static                                5.0.0-1ubuntu1                            amd64        shell with lots of features (static link)

  hsp-VirtualBox% lsb_release -rd
