Your mails are somewhat unclear, but if you have these functions
defined in autoloadable files then they should look as following
% cat finer-forward-word
local WORDCHARS=$WORDCHARS_FINER
zle forward-word

Ie, do not include the "finer-forward-word() {" and "}" lines in the
file. Your original versions probably work if you use autoload -k, but
you don't show your autoload lines at all in the example.
