Something *is* a bit wacky here, maybe not what you're seeing...
You need the zsh/parameter module loaded, which it probably will be for
completion.

% emulate -R sh -o noshglob -c 'foo() { print ${options[shglob]}; }'; foo
on
% emulate -R sh +o shglob -c 'foo() { print ${options[shglob]}; }'; foo
off

I can't think of any good reason why they should be different, though
maybe it'll occur to me if I look deeper.
