I am one of the zsh developers and I can tell you that that simply isn't the
case. If you find any case where zsh breaks the POSIX standard then please
let us know and I'll try to get it fixed. It is cared about.

Stories of zsh being less than POSIX compliant seem to stem from the fact
that when it isn't pretending to be sh, it fixes some of the design mistakes
of the original Bourne shell (such as word splitting variable expansions).
