Strange, I fired up the computer today, run exactly the same command and 
no message.  Fool around for a while and it comes back.  Restart shell 
... no change.  Restart terminal and it goes away.  I'll try to figure 
out exactly what triggers it.  Must be some environment corruption.

Bart:

In your (temporarily name-shortened) describe-params, I'm trying to 
capture the output to a variable for further processing:

#describe-params ()
dp ()
{
     emulate -L zsh -o extendedglob
ddescribeparams=()
local line=
     set -- ${(ok)parameters[(I)${~${(j.|.)@}}]}
     while ((ARGC))
     do
#        print -rn -- "${parameters[$1]} "
         line+="${parameters[$1]} "
         if [[ -${parameters[$1]}- = *-hideval-* ]]
         then
             # If param is hidden, typeset won't show anything so use this:
#            print -r -- ${(q-)1}
             line+="${(q-)1}"
         else
#            typeset -m -- ${(b)1}
             line+=$( typeset -m -- ${(b)1} )
         fi
ddescribeparams+="$line"
line=
     shift
     done
print -l -- $ddescribeparams
}

...

             line+=$( typeset -m -- ${(b)1} )

... isn't working with eg:

$ typeset -m yellow

yellow=$'\C-[[33;1m'

... the predictable thing is happening and the color code gets applied 
and my terminal turns yellow.  How can I capture the value of yellow 
without that problem?  I've run into this before but I can't remember 
the solution.
