"Old way" is misleading: I mean the expected result with b -> empty
string because b is unset.  I've been updating and recompiling without
properly keeping track of the version.

Even this afternoon(!) I'm still getting

% a=(abc dbe fbg)
% setopt histsubstpattern
% unset b
% print ${a:gs/b/$b/}
ac de fg

and I confirmed with zsh -f, too.
