It's globbing.

Dump the "for" loop.  You want a nice one-liner like

  autoload $^fpath/*(N.x:t)

where the N means to silently drop any glob pattern that doesn't match
any files.

You {sh,c}ould drop the `x' from the glob qualifiers.  In general, there
isn't any reason for a file that contains an autoloaded function to have
its execute bit set.  The only reason for making such a file executable
is to be able to run it as a standalone shell script as well as run it as
an autoloaded function.
