Problems with background jobs in a script.

The script below exhibits several problems.
All I'm trying to do is to get a script to recursively kill all of
its background processes on exit. (In my case, this should be an
issue only when the script is killed.)
My zsh version is 4.3.4
Thanks
Dave

The killed jobs still show up after the kills.
If we wait a bit, the jobs don't show up.
Now we start a sleep in the background with ()
Now we've killed it, but it's still running.
