Building a tree newer than that revision (171e7fa4c1d9 + some local
patches that don't go anywhere near the parser), I get:

[[[
% /path/to/installed/zsh -fnv strcatsub
$$0000${(e0z)^Y-000${(z)^Y-00>



{000000}0}0
00}${%0000000000000000000000000000000000000000�000000�00�0000���0000000${(fzfLl0200oNN�?>&9������//��?0B0mpr0200%����O�)3oN0iO0)c000%000000000000}�0�000000�00��0000000000000�00�}00%                                                                     
]]]

where the final % is in reverse video, but stays there even with -o nopromptsp.

If I remove the -f, it outputs the same junk, but preceded by the
entirety of my .zshenv.  All that goes to stderr.

My configure line:

    ./configure --enable-zsh-debug --with-term-lib=ncursesw --prefix=$HOME/prefix/zsh
    perl -pi -e 's/link=dynamic/link=static/g; if (/link=static/) { s/auto=yes/auto=no/ }' config.modules
