You're still misinterpreting this. It's pretty straightforward:
-- quotes are interpreted ONCE when the command line is processed.
-- the only time quotes are ever interpreted AGAIN is with "eval".
Stop "eval"-ing things and you'll stop having problems.
If for some reason "eval" is absolutely necessary, THEN you need to
assess what quoting interpretation you WOULD have used if the
argument(s) to eval were the original command line, and re-apply those
quotes, which zsh makes possible with ${(q)...} or ${(qqq)...} or
whatever.
