You have the wrong syntax there.  It is this:

: 1234:0; command

The ':' command is a no-op, so everything through the ';' is ignored.
Adding more args doesn't confuse zsh or any other shell as long as the
number parsing of the first 2 numbers is not affected and no shell-
special chars are added.  E.g, this is fine:

: 1234:0:user1; command

So, no numeric commands are ever executed by a non-zsh reading the
history file, just ":" commands.
