If it only happened on output, like -LRZ, I'd agree with you. But then
it would be worse than useless for dirstack.

} That's a bug, probably, although it might need care fixing (does the
} flag apply if the array is about to be joined?)
I'd be tempted to say they apply when joining with $arr[@] but not with
$arr[*], but -Z gives me pause. I guess I think -LR should work like
${(l:N:)...} and ${(r:N:)...}, which is where the [@] [*] distinction
comes from. I wish (l) were for lower-case and (r) for match-rest so
we could have (L:N:) (R:N:) and add (Z:N:), but it's years too late now.
} It doesn't make sense to have dirstack an integer, but it does makes
} sense to have it contain unique elements.
That could be made to "work" for dirstack by adopting something like
Andrey's 22320, where the set-fn is not called until after the new
flags are in place. dirssetfn() could then check for PM_UNIQUE and
frob PUSHD_IGNORE_DUPS to match.
I think that would be even more broken, though. The number of possible
bad interactions doubles -- people would be confused about why their
change to setopt reverts whenever they assign to dirstack, etc.
