I'm close to certain I haven't, here's all .zwc on my system:

It isn't possible I've somehow screwed up $fpath?  I understand it's 
hard coded at startup,
least it seems to always be restored. Anyhow I've not moved or played 
with Base.zwc.  I did try
creating a .zwc yesterday but it's long dead.

This seems to be the troublesome line:

     zcompile $zsh_default_functions $^fpath/*(N.:A)

... on a hunch:

     zcompile $zsh_default_functions $^fpath/*(N.:t)  << 't' being a 
new friend

... the previous error msgs are gone but:

    $ zsh
    /aWorking/Zsh/Boot/ztest:zcompile:13: can't open file: _bootctl
