OK, so the real problem is that

- there exists some software written for the user's shell to execute

- that software needs to change working directory

- the user is an idiot who has installed a chpwd function that always
  prints to stdout

- this breaks the software and is reported as a bug to the developer.

Frankly I don't think any update to the zsh FAQ is going to eliminate
idiocy.  The developer needs to either use "cd -q ..." if the shell is
known to be zsh, or to use "{ cd ... } >/dev/null" if zsh-ness for some
reason is not testable.
