I've got what I thought would be correct coding using XZREQ and XZGROUP. I created an XZGROUP that contains the 3 target zones. I code an apply check using XZREQ and XZGROUP(OMEGME) and get missing coreqs.

COREQ is not the same as IFREQ. A COREQ (co-requisite) identifies something that must be applied, unconditionally, in the same target zone. An IFREQ (conditional-requisite) is optional and may be applied in the same target zone, or may be installed in a different target zone, or not at all.
Although your cross-zone IFREQ checking is nice, it doesn't help in this case. The REQ operand on HKN3410 tells SMP/E that the "shared" FMIDs are required to be installed in the same target zone. I'm not familiar with HKN3410, so I can't say whether the REQ identifies installation dependencies (must be applied in the same target zone for proper SMP/E installation) or execution dependencies (must be present in the execution environment for proper product execution) or both.
Generally I don't recommend you BYPASS REQ, PRE, IFREQ, or ID as you show in your example.
