Unfortunately I still don't know a good way to debug problems like that.
This time, I found the solution by reading zsh man pages over and over. :-)

Turned out to be exactly that.  On the first call the function file is
loaded and the function initialized but NOT executed.  So, I added the line
"zle finer-forward-word" at the end of the function file - after the
function definition.  And now it works as expected again.  zsh's default
behavior of this must have changed recently, right?

--------
finer-forward-word() {
  local WORDCHARS=$WORDCHARS_FINER
  zle forward-word
}
zle finer-forward-word
--------

But is that the "correct" way to do it or just a dumb workaround?

Thanks,
 Andy
