I don't know if it helps to get an idea what's going on, but
both variants work as expected with zsh 5.0.2 under the cygwin
environment:

$ uname -smo  
CYGWIN_NT-6.1-WOW64 i686 Cygwin
$ mkdir /tmp/empty
$ ZDOTDIR=/tmp/empty zsh -f
$ autoload compinit
$ compinit
$ eval 'paste <(echo 1) <(echo 2) <(echo 3) <(echo 4)' | cat
1       2       3       4
$ (){ sleep 5; paste "$@" } <(echo 1)
1
$ print $ZSH_VERSION $ZSH_PATCHLEVEL 
5.0.2 1.5778
