I also cannot reproduce the problem on Debian GNU/Linux 3.1
(diff 2.8.1, zsh 4.2.5).

Can you trace "diff" (using ktrace? sorry, I don't use Mac OS X so you
may have to look this up yourself) to see what system calls that
"diff" is executing?

Possibly zsh on Mac OS X 10.4.2 is operating in an incompatible way.
What version of zsh are you using?
