That's because of the -g option to lsof (process group $$, and
lsof is run in a different process group in interactive mode),
but you get the same behavior in interactive shells (you need to
give other options to lsof)

That was for:
{ cmd 2>&1 >&- >&3 3>&- | cmd2 3>&-; } 3>&-
(which can be written cmd 2> >(cmd2) on some systems)
Thanks for the
{ { cmd 2>&1 >&3 3>&-; } | cmd2 3>&-; } 3>&-
~$ zsh -c '{ { lsof -ag $$ -d 0-2,10-15 2>&1 >&3 3>&-; } | tr a b 3>&-; } 3>&1'
COMMAND PID PGID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
tr 4506 4506 chazelas 0u FIFO 0,7 10296 pipe
tr 4506 4506 chazelas 1u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
tr 4506 4506 chazelas 2u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
zsh 4507 4506 chazelas 0u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
zsh 4507 4506 chazelas 1w FIFO 0,7 10296 pipe
zsh 4507 4506 chazelas 2u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
zsh 4507 4506 chazelas 10u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
zsh 4507 4506 chazelas 11r CHR 1,3 2892 /dev/null
lsof 4508 4506 chazelas 0u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
lsof 4508 4506 chazelas 1u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
lsof 4508 4506 chazelas 2w FIFO 0,7 10296 pipe
But that's still one more process compared to:
~$ zsh -o nomultios -c '{ lsof -ag $$ -d 0-2,10-15 2>&1 >&3 3>&- | tr a b 3>&-; } 3>&1'
COMMAND PID PGID USER FD TYPE DEVICE SIZE NODE NAME
tr 4564 4564 chazelas 0u FIFO 0,7 10603 pipe
tr 4564 4564 chazelas 1u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
tr 4564 4564 chazelas 2u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
lsof 4565 4564 chazelas 0u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
lsof 4565 4564 chazelas 1u CHR 136,1 3 /dev/pts/1
lsof 4565 4564 chazelas 2w FIFO 0,7 10603 pipe
