I figured it out. even though it makes no sense to me.

/etc/zshrc (package maintainer default for debian woody) was messing it
up.  What makes no sense is that this should still get sourced if I
start zsh from bash.

In any case, I removed 90% of its contents and I can happily remove my
typos again.
