You can get this by combining -p and -m, which I think is one reason
why -m is different.

Are there valid characters in an identifier name that would be quoted
differently by (b) and (q)?

I did find a bug:  describe-params -

Revised:

describe-params () {
  emulate -L zsh -o extendedglob
  set -- ${(ok)parameters[(I)${~${(j.|.)@}}]}
  while ((ARGC))
  do
    print -rn -- "${parameters[$1]} "
    if [[ -${parameters[$1]}- = *-hideval-* ]]
    then
      print -r -- ${(q-)1}
    else
      typeset -m -- ${(b)1}
    fi
    shift
  done
}
