FWIW, another corner case:

$ aliases[(e)]=whatever
$ alias -L
alias ''=whatever
$ eval "$(alias -L)"
zsh: whatever not found

Actually, I didn't quite expect that error message, I would have thought

echo ''=foo

would be the same as

echo '=foo'

That the = operator would not be recognised in that  context.

I can't say I like that behaviour. It gets worse with expansions:

$ echo $0=ls
/bin/zsh=ls
$ echo $1=ls
/bin/ls
