Let's first take a look at what the problem is.  If you can reproduce
with zsh-static, then we have a hope of getting an answer for why -3
doesn't solve it in that case.

As far as long term support and static NSS, I would probably have to
refer you directly to upstream.  I don't have a good answer, but I
suspect it's just one of those platform quirks. =(
