Turns out there are other problems with ksharrays and ${(AA)...}.  Even
after the patch quoted above, ${(AA)var:=value} complains about slices
when var is already set; which means it's acting like ${(AA)var::=value},
attempting to assign when it should not.  This is yet another side-effect
of the $array --> ${array[0]} mapping when KSHARRAYS is set.

So, scrap the patch above and apply the following one instead (that is,
on the original 3.1.6-pws-1 source, not on top of zsh-users/2529).

One hunk below is to fix a typo in my patch from zsh-workers/7521.  If you
didn't apply 7521 or Sven's patches that preceded it, remove the exec.c hunk
before applying the following.
