I think it is correct, since \0 is in IFS, word splitting happens since the command substitution
isn't quoted. Since zsh will sent the output of a command to multiple destinations if the result
of an expansion is multiple words, it zsh tries to send the output to dir/ and /myfile; but
fails hard when it can't write to dir/, not attempting to write to /myfile.
When the expansion is quoted, you do get the error that you think it should have.
