Then it works!  It turns out that I was using the sort.exe in c:/WINNT/system32/sort
(did not know there was one). This sort.exe insert the ^Ms
 
I am now back to using the original compdump file and having

That works too. So will you change it in the zsh distribution (compdump

(I use compinit -C in my .zshrc to speed it up a bit)
