This works if I enter it manually at the shell prompt, but does
neither work in .zshrc nor in .zshenv. It though does work if I source
the according files manually afterwards. Strange. The file is read
though since the remainder of the prompt works fine.

Yay! ;-)

JFTR: This does not happen with bash (4.3.42) or tcsh (6.18.01) in the
same environment.

Yes, as mentioned in the subject. The image I mentioned in my initial
mail is without X and I've just started it inside kvm and logged in on
the console there, i.e. no remote login via SSH or such.

Nope. Except maybe looking how bash does it. :-)
