Array indexing starts with one, not zero, so $argv[0] in zsh emulation mode is not what you think: it is empty. *Always*. And in any case has nothing to do with $0, $0 is never present in $argv. Array indexing *may* start with zero, controlled by KSH_ARRAYS option which is again different in zsh and sh emulation mode.

What is contained is $0 is controlled by FUNCTION_ARGZERO option, which is different in zsh and sh modes.
