Hmm, I'm a little surprised that zsh silently ignored that. I believe
it's treating it the same as `--' (end of options). Zsh is not a GNU
package and doesn't understand any "long options".

Sven's a good guy, but I think he's misguided in this case. (It also
hadn't stopped him from being a zsh user, last time I talked to him.)
Furthermore, zsh attempts to give a reasonable impersonation of a number
of older standard shells, none of which would do what Sven wants when
given --version as an argument.
I also note:
zagzig[265] bash --version
bash: --: bad option
Given that `--' is a perfectly good option on its own, it's pretty clear
that bash is treating `--version' as `-' followed by eight individual
single-letter options.
