It is not that important and I can forget about this bug. But again... the bug
(which is a minor usability bug) is about interface consistency.

Why are there 2 different places where one decides where to have or not visible
zeros?

One is in tools->options->calc-view (and affects display)
Another one is in format->page->sheet (and affects print and export to pdf)

IMHO this is causing confusion in the users (at least in my and some users I
used to prepare templates for), because:

1) When a document displays in some way, users expect it to print in the same
way. Aren't they using a wysiwyg software just for that?  It is confusing that
they have no zeros in display and then zeros suddendly appear when they print.

2) These options are (correctly) buried under a 3 level hierarchy.
Unfortunately this makes them not exactly easy to find (also due to the fact
that the first levels of the hierarchy are quite different). Thus, when the
users have their systems not showing the zeros and then get funny printed
documents filled with zeros, they may get frustrated before finding what to do.

I wonder if there a reason why this needs to be selectable in two different
places in this way? I can think of cases where one may want to see zeros and
not to print them (because in editing one may want to know if a cell is empty
or not), but I really cannot figure out a case where one may want to print the
zeros but not to display them.
