Regex `\b` replaced with `^H` in multi-line command

[owst]

Describe the bug

When I type out a multi-line command involving a regex \b character, the expansion replaces \b with ^H.

Steps To Reproduce

N.b. paste the first line first, then the remaining lines (to simulate typing out the command interactively).

for f in $(grep -l '\bfoo\b' *); do
  echo "foo found in $f"
done

after pressing enter after done the prompt displays

for f in $(grep -l '^Hfoo^H' *)
do
        echo "foo found in $f"
done

Expected behavior

\b to be unchanged

Observed behavior

\b was replaced with ^H (which breaks the grep pattern)

Environment:

• OS: macOS Version 13.2.1
• Terminal: iTerm2 3.4.19
• Zsh version: 5.8.1
• Repo version: 6b0e5e6
