Yep. Putting it in chpwd seems a much better idea.

However, it doesn't solve the fundamental problem (which might be more OS X
than darwin). The call to precmd works. Printing the string to the console
(print -P "%b@%m:%~") works. However, the escaped string doesn't cause the
title of the terminal to change.

Did they change something between 10.1.5 and 10.2, so that the escape
sequence doesn't work?

Admission: I copied the code off someone else on this list, so I don't even
understand WHY the escape sequence used to work. If someone knows where
such is documented, I'd appreciate it.
