I couldn't find anywhere in zsh-3.0.5 documentation whether '&!' is supposed to
be the same or is supposed to be different from '&|'. They always appear
together, but it's never specified that one can be replaced by the other.
Is there a difference ? If no, why are both forms accepted ?

They are equivalent. &! is the canonical form, but &| is more commonly
used, in order to avoid unwanted history expansion.
