Well, it seems it's related to my use of rcexpandparam:

    % setopt rcexpandparam; foo=(); bar=hello; foo=($foo $bar); echo $#foo $foo 
    1 $bar
    % setopt norcexpandparam; foo=(); bar=hello; foo=($foo $bar); echo $#foo $foo 
    1 hello
    % 

It also explains my other problem with `echo \( "$@"'.
Hmmm...
