You can print them to see the difference:
% E="0='\${\${\\(M\\)\${0::=\${\\(%\\):-%x}}:\\#/\\*}:-\$PWD/\$0}'"
% print -r -- $E
0='${${\(M\)${0::=${\(%\):-%x}}:\#/\*}:-$PWD/$0}'
% E='0=${${\(M\)${0::=${\(%\):-%x}}:\#/*}:-$PWD/$0}'
% print -r -- $E
0=${${\(M\)${0::=${\(%\):-%x}}:\#/*}:-$PWD/$0}
As you can see, the first `E` has three extra characters: two quotes
and a backslash.
