} Implementation aside, operationally this still violates dynamic scoping.

OK, that's not quite true. What you're suggesting is not that the called
function has made the global options sticky, rather that if the calling
function has sticky options, it automatically reverts them upon making
a nested call. So that would only mess up completion if somebody did
"emulate zsh -c compinit" to load it.
That still prevents the calling function from intentionally propagating
a particular set of options down to the called function, which I think
is the more common use case (certainly so far it has been the *only*
use case, though that may just be because no other is possible).
And as I suspected "reverts them" currently involves completing the C
fuction scope of doshfunc(), though that could be disentangled with a
bit of effort.
