When «$foo» appears inside «$((…))», it's expanded as a string that's
then parsed as math.  The result of «$((…))» is then assigned to the
$result, which is eventually used as «(( result ))», where — because
${(t)result} is non-integer scalar — there will be another
string-to-integer conversion.

Sorry for the delay on this.
