Shouldn't setting VISUAL override this
function of EDITOR? AFAIK most tools
look at EDITOR when choosing which
editor ("visual" or not) to spawn for things
like commit messages and not VISUAL.
I'd think setting EDITOR to vi (or vim) and VISUAL to emacs should give you the
behavior you want.

PS: I actually use ZSH (and years ago
ksh93 on OpenSolaris) with VISUAL=vi…
