Below is a fix.  The second expansion might still look a bit weird:

% echo 1${^a}1${^^x}
1a1x 1ay 1b1x 1by


The logic is that the string after the rc-param, 1${^^x}, is expanded,
producing two strings, 1x y, which is combined with 1a 1b.  It is true
that this is incompatible with 2.6-beta16 and older, which first expanded
it to 1a1${^^x} 1b1${^^x} and later this was expanded to 1a1x y 1b1x y.
Similarily, let i=0; echo ${^a}$[i++] expanded to a$[i++] b$[i++] and
later to a0 b1, while in zsh-3.0.4 it expands to a0 b0.
