I can confirm that this problem also exists in Debian's 4.3.17 (Wheezy
aka Testing; Unstable) and 5.0.0 (Experimental) packages.

Same for Debian Testing and Unstable.

Debian Stable aka Squeeze seems to be fine: zsh 4.3.10 and yodl
2.15.2. But IIRC back then, the Debian zsh package took the
pre-compiled docs from the official tarball...

... while we build the docs with adapted paths at build time for a
year or such.
