well, $'' is apparently different syntax from '', and it's dangerous to assume that two different syntaxes have the same semantics.
*Another* gotcha yet again? Yes, making assumptions is dangerous, but not doing anything for fear of the next gotcha is not an option. I guess one just walks through the mine-field and when things blow up, you know you've found a mine. It's only software, so no one dies. Trial and error.

YMMV, but when i'm working on a script, the biggest slice of the time spent with the various zsh* man pages is in zshmisc(1) and zshexpn(1). you might also get some new insight from giving them a read or two.
Thanks.  So many scrolls!
