Tested zsh with the cons25, no solution. Tested dvtm / screen / tmux (screen helped the most but was altogether a slower solution); then I decided to test putting the relevant zsh aliases (commands and directories) into .bashrc.
That more or less fixed it. If I'm to be doing a copy as in the revised post, I can simply type "bash" and the cursor problem is fixed.
Some days there is a longer series of files to copy in zsh, all at once but not individually, and a set of three commands in that instance, from saved history in zsh, is easier to not have mistakes, as they are not edited [except one whole word sometimes ], but simply rerun again.
Also learned how drop-in replaceable the .bashrc and .zshrc alias syntax is in the use case here.
So 95 percent solved, anyway, as per the original post.
