You apparently have the AUTO_CD option enabled. The description of that
in the zshoptions(1) man page is:
If a command is issued that can't be executed as a normal command,
and the command is the name of a directory, perform the cd command to
that directory.
There usually isn't a '..' command, but there's always a directory with
that name, so that rule kicks in.

But '.' is a builtin command name, so that command is run. Since that's
the first thing to be tried it doesn't matter that '.' is also a
directory name.
