Is this sufficient?
Once that's added to~.zshrc is there any other work needed?
If that addition makes it work then I'd say run with it and don't flag
it as a ZSH bug.
The reason I say this is that delete key has been a pain in the arse on
Unix systems for decades.
BASH gets around the problem by having its own belt-and-suspenders logic
for handling a variety of byte sequences for "delete".
Though I'm surprised you don't run into the same problem on Linux.
Probably need more context: what terminal emulation is happening?
I mean, are you using GNOME term on Linux and PuTTY on Windows (for SSH
into USS)?
The root of the problem is in the terminal device driver logic.
Historically there was >one< keystroke which was assigned to "delete"
and perhaps another for "backspace".
But more than that, the musical terminals (and now mostly emulators)
amplify the challenge. We're not all on a VT100 anymore.
Also, can one have multiple bindings in ~.zshrc?
Dunno if this helps, but a fun topic.

When using the new zsh the delete key does not work properly as it replaces

IBM Idea ZOS-I-4046 requesting IBM to fix this has been marked as 'Not under
consideration' while providing in the comments a workaround:
Add the following to your .zshrc file:
# Fix Delete Key
bindkey '^[[3~' delete-char
Note: I have not had to do this on any other zsh implementation (think
several flavors of Linux).
