It's also not hard to do away with it entirely!

  ## begin saveopts
  emulate -L zsh	# This takes care of ksharrays et al.

  # I'm not sure what PWS was doing with zmodload -e ...
  zmodload -i zsh/parameter || return $?

  if [[ $# != 1 ]]; then
    print "Usage: saveopts save_file" >&2
    return 1
  fi

  local x='(interactive|shinstdin|stdin)'
  {
    print -r setopt ${(pj. \\\n .)${(ok)options[(R)on]:#$~x}}
    print -r unsetopt ${(pj. \\\n .)${(ok)options[(R)off]:#$~x}}
  } > $1
  ## end saveopts

Of course none of this answers the original question, because by the time
the user gets to execute any shell code the options may have been changed
by /etc/zshenv.
