Yes, you're right.  For some reason it did work for me but I can't
reproduce it.  This would work everywhere:

  trap "echo trapped; trap - EXIT; exit 0" EXIT INT

With bash:

        % bash --version

        % for i in INT TERM HUP QUIT; do bash -c 'trap "echo trapped \$?; trap - EXIT; exit 0" EXIT INT TERM HUP QUIT; sleep 5' & sleep 1; kill -$i -$!; wait; done
        [2] 28903
        trapped 130
        [2]  + done       bash -c 
        [1] 28906
        Terminated
        trapped 143
        [1]  + done       bash -c 
        [1] 28909
        Hangup
        trapped 129
        [1]  + done       bash -c 
        [1] 28912
        Quit
        trapped 131
        [1]  + done       bash -c 
        % 
        
With zsh:

        % zsh --version
        zsh 5.0.7 (x86_64-redhat-linux-gnu)
        % for i in INT TERM HUP QUIT; do zsh -fc 'trap "echo trapped \$?; trap - EXIT; exit 0" EXIT INT TERM HUP QUIT; sleep 5' & sleep 1; kill -$i -$!; wait; done
        [2] 28936
        trapped 130
        [2]  + done       zsh -fc 
        [1] 28940
        trapped 143
        [1]  + done       zsh -fc 
        [1] 28943
        trapped 129
        [1]  + done       zsh -fc 
        [1] 28947
        trapped 131
        [1]  + done       zsh -fc 
        %

That's not the behavior I'm seeing above.
