That's a general feature.
% testal() { al='print alias'; al; }
% testal
zsh: command not found: al
The entire function is parsed before the alias is defined, so the `al'
never gets expanded. A script is parsed line by line, so this doesn't
happen.

I don't think there is another way of making functions have local
scope at the moment.
