So there are at *least* three things that could be considered broken,
in that changing them would fix the problem I encountered.

1) Our /bin/sh isn't classified as Definitely usable.
2) zsh is Not usable.
3) zsh is classified as Maybe usable.

#1 could be fixed on our side, if we understood why it wasn't
usable. It could also be fixed by the autoconf folks. #2 has to be
fixed by the zsh folks. #3 has to be fixed by the autoconf folks.

Zsh has a large number of configuration settings that can make it
more or less sh(1)-compatible.  I've been bitten by SH_WORD_SPLIT,
which defaults to being incompatible, IIRC.

Since zsh is my interactive shell of preference, I spent a few minutes
trying to reproduce your problems, but failed.  Perhaps there is
something in your .z* config files that make things go awry?
