That probably means the subscript is zero.  I think the problem is
equivalent to this one:

% test=()
% for i in {1..$#test}; do print $i; done
1
0

It's looping over a non-existent and a not-even-valid entry for an empty
array, which is not very helpful.  That number is then being used as
a subscript for the empty array.  I'm not actually sure the syntax
{1..0} should be doing that, I don't think we've ever defined what it
does.

The reason why you see this ($_i_addfiles is empty) is the same one as
the following...

fpath doesn't descend subdirectories.  If, for some reason, you can't
use the default fpath, which will include wherever the files are
supposed to be installed (this is the preferred solution), try

fpath=( /usr/share/zsh/functions/**/*(/) )
