Sorry, gmail hard-wrapped my previous email, which causes hardships in just copying the code. I am resending it in HTML mode to avoid this problem.
This pipe unexpectedly fails:
```
$ setopt pipefail
$ { print -nr -- "x" || true } | eval 'print -rn -- "${(q+@)brish_stdin}"' ; echo $'\n'Returned $?:"${(j.|.)pipestatus[@]}"
''
Returned 141:141|0
```
This is the simplest thing I have found that works:
```
$ ( ( print -nr -- "l" ) || true ) | eval 'print -rn -- "${(q+@)brish_stdin}"' ; echo $'\n'Returned $?:"${(j.|.)pipestatus[@]}"
''
Returned 0:0|0
```
Even this fails:
```
$ ( { print -nr -- "l" } || true ) | eval 'print -rn -- "${(q+@)brish_stdin}"' ; echo $'\n'Returned $?:"${(j.|.)pipestatus[@]}"
''
Returned 141:141|0
```
The behavior is nondeterministic on macOS, and it actually doesn't usually fail at all!
```
$ for i in {1..100} ; { { print -nr -- "x" || true } | eval 'print -rn -- "${(q+@)brish_stdin}"' ;echo $'\n'Returned $?:"${(j.|.)pipestatus[@]}" }

BTW, there seems to be another weird thing going on; Adding two spaces before `echo` breaks the whole loop both on Linux and macOS:
```
for i in {1..100} ; { { print -nr -- "x" || true } | eval 'print -rn -- "${(q+@)brish_stdin}"' ; echo $'\n'Returned $?:"${(j.|.)pipestatus[@]}" }
