In ZSH prompt expansion, the command %E is supposed to "Clear to end of line."

This works: enter image description here

However, it does not work in tmux: enter image description here

The issue seems to be with BCE (Background Color Erase). In screen, I can add the option defbce ondefbce on. I can't find any similar setting for tmux. Does it exist?
