That *does* exclude it from the history list.

What it doesn't do (and what nothing does) is exclude it from being
kept in what might be termed the "previous command buffer".  You
can ALWAYS go back exactly one command, even when HISTSIZE=0, but
with the zshaddhistory hook above, that command will be discarded
as soon as there is another new one to replace it.
