The local and remote look much the same (agreeing with that).
Just to check, I updated my testing machine to unstable, and
(same terminal emulator, same shell) don't see this happening.
I did a 'strings' on zsh and the main libraries (libtinfo6, libcap),
don't see "yes" compiled-in. It's not in the terminal description.
Most of the changes for libtinfo since mid-February are specific to
the MinGW/Windows port.
Since I don't use zsh, my test-configuration is pretty minimal.
I'm guessing that the "yes" comes from some program which is run
from your shell, e.g., for configuring the prompt. I checked
my configuration to see what zsh might run, by
urxvt -e strace -fo trace.log zsh
but in my case, there were no subprocesses of zsh.
In your typescript files, for each case, the "yes" appears immediately
before enabling or disabling bracketed paste, mode 2004
(which may be coincidental).
In my trace.log, I see the corresponding 2004's:
11657 write(10, "\33[1m\33[7m%\33[27m\33[1m\33[m "..., 103) = 103
11657 write(10, "\r\33[m\33[27m\33[24m\33[Jprl-debiancur-6"..., 35) = 35
11657 write(10, "\33[K", 3) = 3
11657 write(10, "\33[?2004h", 8) = 8
11657 write(10, "\33[?2004l", 8) = 8
11657 write(10, "\r\n", 2) = 2
In your configuration, you may see some different process writing the "yes".
(Or if it's really zsh, the open's in the trace would probably include the
file containing that "yes").
