Thanks for the report.
Essentially, it was a bug that having ERR_RETURN set *ever* worked.
There are a whole lot of commands in the completion system, mostly
"zstyle" where the success or failure isn't consequential, that are
run in contexts where they might return nonzero and trigger ERR_EXIT.
The bug, fixed October 15 of 2016, was that ERR_RETURN was ignored in
some cases where ERR_EXIT was not.
You can fix this easily in your .zshrc by adding
_comp_options+=(NO_err_return)
after you run compinit.
(Also, just to reply to your comment about going back to the 80s: No,
we don't require you to sign up for the mailing list in order to send
us bug reports here. But I would have to sign up for github to reply
to your comment there, so ...)
(Volunteers willing to spend time watching and updating a bug tracker
are welcome to apply for the position.)

Thanks, this workaround worked! It solves my issues.
Having ERR_RETURN set is helpful to catch bugs.

Isn't that a bug in those commands though?

OK, I thought signup was required in order to post, as is the case in some
mailing lists.
Not intending to start a sterile flame war here, just my opinion:
* github/gitlab are widely used so no particular signup would be needed
* using github.gitlab, ppl can click on Watch to follow/unfollow individual
issues or all of zsh issues to choose how much email from github they
receive
* it would lower the barrier of entry to enter bugs, ie get bugs fixed
faster
* all benefits of bug tracker as opposed to mailling list [tracking bugs,
cross references, search etc]
* avoids revealing your email address
* this has been adoped by https://github.com/zsh-users [Zsh community
projects (not directly affiliated with the zsh project)] probably for a
combination of the above reasons

If you want the zsh project to start using a bug tracker, it'd be a lot
more productive to ask the developers what their requirements are than
to start advocating github/gitlab.
For one, I assume we won't consider a bug tracker that doesn't have
bidirectional email integration with this mailing list. (to minimise
workflow disruption)
Cheers,
Daniel
