FWIW, another corner case:
$ aliases[(e)]=whatever
$ alias -L
alias ''=whatever
$ eval "$(alias -L)"
zsh: whatever not found
Actually, I didn't quite expect that error message, I would have thought
echo ''=foo
would be the same as
echo '=foo'
That the = operator would not be recognised in that context.
I can't say I like that behaviour. It gets worse with expansions:
$ echo $0=ls
/bin/zsh=ls
$ echo $1=ls
/bin/ls
