Possible bug: Zsh function does not terminate when ${name:?word} fails

I have in my .zshrc the following function definition (simplified
example):

function foo {
  local p=${1:?parameter missing}
  echo continue ....
}

Running the function by just typing foo produces, as expected, the
message parameter missing, but it also outputs continue. I had expected
that the function terminates when the :? check fails, but it continues
to run.

I tested this with zsh 5.1.1, but I was informed that this behaviour
also can be reproduced with zsh 5.2
