That's consistent with the 3.0.5 behavior.  Remember my namedir tests?
With this patch applied, 3.1.4 behaves exactly like 3.0.5 again:

zagzig% namedir_test
zsh 3.1.4
TEST 1
namedir1: test1=/etc
namedir1: test1=/etc
namedir2: test1=/etc
namedir1: test1=/etc
namedir3:
namedir1: test1=/etc
namedir4:
TEST 2
namedir1: test2=/etc
namedir1: test2=/etc
namedir2: test2=/etc
namedir1: test2=/etc
namedir3:
namedir1: test2=/etc
namedir4: test2=/usr/bin

(I still think the namedir4 behavior is wrong.)
