I've a vague memory of this too, but evidence suggests it's not showing
CONTINUE_ON_ERROR behaviour (this is before my patch):


% cat ~/tmp/zdotdir/.zshrc
print First line
echo *fumblewumble*
print Second line
% ZDOTDIR=~/tmp/zdotdir zsh
First line
/home/pws/tmp/zdotdir/.zshrc:2: no matches found: *fumblewumble*
% exit     # <- this is the prompt inside the new shell
% zsh ~/tmp/zdotdir/.zshrc 
First line
/home/pws/tmp/zdotdir/.zshrc:2: no matches found: *fumblewumble*
Second line


So if that was the intention, we've already messed it up.  A bit of
historical research might be interesting.
