It would seem to me that this is a bug in zsh.
It is demonstrable like this:
ubuntu@quantal$ sh -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%=*}'
foo
ubuntu@quantal$ bash -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%=*}'
foo
ubuntu@quantal$ zsh -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%=*}'
zsh:1: * not found
It is work-aroundable by escaping the '=' in the shell suffix match with a '\'.
Ie:
zsh -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%\=*}'
foo
** Also affects: zsh (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Description changed:
+ zsh complains if an '=' occurs in a suffix or prefix shell parameter
+ expansion.
+
+ $ sh -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%=*}'
+ foo
+ $ bash -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%=*}'
+ foo
+ $ zsh -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%=*}'
+ zsh:1: * not found
+
+ It is work-aroundable by escaping the '=' in the shell suffix match with a

+ $ zsh -c 'f="foo=bar"; echo ${f%%\=*}'
+ foo

After upgrading my Amazon machine to Ubuntu 12.04, every time I run zsh I get
the following output:
- locale_warn:13: * not found
+ locale_warn:13: * not found
Apparenlty this is caused by the file /etc/profile.d/Z99-cloud-locale-
test.sh in the cloud-init package. zsh always outputs an error when a
glob like * fails to match any files.
