} Yes, seems as if it was only missing for the special case of a given

Hm again.

Here's the 3.0.8 prelease with 11368 applied:

zagzig% a="$(print -P '\0')"
zagzig% b=(${(s::)a}); print $#b
1
zagzig% print -R - "$b" | cat -v
^@

Now here's 3.1.7-pre-3 with 11368 applied:

zagzig% a="$(print -P '\0')"
zagzig% b=(${(s::)a}); print $#b
2
zagzig% print -R - "$b" | cat -v
^@ 
zagzig% print -R - "$a" | cat -v
^@

What's the second character in $b in 3.1.7-pre-3?
