I just tried it on the same system you are using just to be sure there
wasn't a bug back then. Works fine.

  zsh -f <<\END
    typeset -p ZSH_VERSION
    uname -sm
    echo $'a$b\'c'
  END

Output:

  typeset ZSH_VERSION=5.5.1
  CYGWIN_NT-10.0 x86_64
  a$b'c

This works the same way as in Bash, by the way.

Roman.
