You might want to read https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-bench if you
haven't already. Don't miss
https://github.com/romkatv/zsh-bench#deferred-initialization in
particular. The tl;dr is that deferred initialization is almost always
a bad idea. I'm being cautious with "almost" here. I don't actually
know of any use cases where deferred initialization is the right
solution.

Never seen this. Can you post the smallest zshrc that reproduces this problem?

It's too early to attempt workarounds. There might be a way to fix the
underlying problem.
