I use either TERM=xterm-xfree86 or TERM=xterm-vt220 (but the escape
sequences for Home and End keys don't depend on which value I choose).

This doesn't change anything in practice. I think that zsh isn't
configured for Home and End.
However, when I connect to some other machine (from the xterm) and
execute bash, this solves the problem there. But I think that the
right solution is to configure bash correctly, as the application
cursor mode is disabled after using some applications (e.g. less).
