Is it normal that this doesn't work?

dixsept% BLAH=*([-1])
dixsept% echo $BLAH
*([-1])
dixsept% export BLAH=*([-1])
zsh: no matches found: BLAH=*([-1])

dixsept% setopt GLOB_ASSIGN
dixsept% BLAH=*([-1])
dixsept% echo $BLAH        
xc
dixsept% export BLAH=*([-1])
zsh: no matches found: BLAH=*([-1])

I have zsh 4.3.2-dev-1 (Debian/unstable).
