Well, it's certainly *related*, unless I'm really missing the point.  Do
you mean the lines that are missing aren't at the end?

I don't understand what this example means.  Where is the data missing here?

Can you get the same effect with e.g.

  perl -e 'open STDERR, ">&STDOUT";
  open STDIN, "cvs status|";

  exec "less";'

which doesn't involve zsh at all?
