This is weird because (i) the test doesn't actually make a lot of sense
as written (ii) it should just happen to work anyway; we haven't had, so
far as I remember, any other reports of this failure.  So I'm not really
sure what this indicates.

(In fact, you can't add a single scalar to an association, so I think
it's trying to test the fact that instead the shell resets the array to
a scalar and gives it the value after the +=.  Whether this is better
than printing an error and refusing to do the operation I'm not entirely
convinced.  Anyway, if that's what it's trying to do the test should
look like:

typeset -A hash
hash=(one 1)
hash+=string
[[ $hash[@] = string ]]

But that should have the same effect as using the previously undefined
variable h.)

That's the sort of message you get if the modules aren't installed
properly or aren't visible.  By default they would be in
  /usr/local/lib/zsh/4.2.0/zsh/rlimits.so
  /usr/local/lib/zsh/4.2.0/zsh/zle.so
and so on, depending where you installed zsh.  Make sure those files are
readable on that system.
