The document says (15.2.1)
If the KSH_ARRAYS option is not set, then by default accesses to an
array element with a subscript that evaluates to zero return an empty
string,
so someone may expect that "${(@)a[0]}" is also replaced by an empty
string "" rather than removed from the command line. But I'm not sure.
And I fear changing this behavior might break some existing scripts.

I haven't yet understood how associative arrays are handled in C code,
but how about the following patch? With this patch all the test passes,
and "${(@)a[i,i]}" becomes an empty array (and removed from the command
line) only if i=0. I think no (reasonable) scripts are relying on the
current behavior that "${(@)a[i,i]}" is removed if i==($#a+1).
