This is one of those "only works with extendedglob set"
things. Perhaps the manual should be clearer, if it isn't (I haven't
had time to check carefully yet).
$ ~/bin/sunos-5.5/zsh-2.6b21 -f
% touch zz{a,b,x}yy
% ls
zzayy zzbyy zzxyy
% echo zz(a|b)yy
zzayy zzbyy
% echo zz^(a|b)yy
zsh: no matches found: zz^(a|b)yy
% setopt extendedglob
% echo zz^(a|b)yy
zzxyy
% echo zz^((a|b))yy
zzxyy
% echo $ZSH_VERSION
2.6-beta21
