It's not working incorrectly, I guess.

I'm not sure if this is part of your question, but the <<< operator
appends an implicit newline, so the newline you embedded in the
quotes makes two.

/dev/fd/0 refers to the standard input, which is NOT the standard input
of the subshell (the pipe from "echo line 2") -- it's the standard
input of "cat", which (when I try it on linux) is the <<< operator, so
I see "line 1\n\n" twice.

Whether that's what you get on some other OS depends on whether there
really is a /dev/fd/0 or whether zsh is simulating it, and possibly on
whether the I/O buffering is such that you can read the same input from
the /dev/fd device more than once.
