I had someone pull the logs. It looks like the person was just warned by
someone else that the sh mode's accuracy is 'iffy' and that zsh doesn't have
POSIX compliance as an actual project goal. There was no specific
functionality mentioned

Since you asked, off the top of my head, zsh's getopts isn't POSIX-compliant
due to its handling of '+'-prefixed options. I think i had a patch somewhere
to make that respect POSIX_BUILTINS
