Update:

We've added an enhancement to Wikipedia Zero so that if a user who isn't on
a participating carrier network navigates to a Wikipedia Zero page on
<language>.zero.wikipedia.org, such as
http://en.zero.wikipedia.org/wiki/Muse_%28band%29 , the user will be
presented an option to visit the canonical URL of the article. If clicked,
the canonical URL should get the user to the mobile or desktop version of
the page, based on device type.

We're hoping that by next week the Google index will be refreshed so as to
correctly mark the <language>.zero.wikipedia.org pages as duplicate pages
in the omitted section. Upon confirmation of as much, the current plan is
to introduce https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/69420/ to prevent indexing
of <language>.zero.wikipedia.org altogether.
