It is an old bug. zsh-2.5.0 works well, but zsh-2.5.03 has it.
This is due to some patch in exec.c, probably the big patch from 2.5.01
to 2.5.02 by Richard Coleman (Mon Jul 25 10:30:32 1994) to "allow
suspend/resume pipes ending in a list/loop/function and jobs with
a $(...) while that is running".

function foo { echo $1; head -1 $1 ; head -1 $1 }
foo =(echo hello world)

The variable last_file_list is recovered before the shell function
finishes.
