It looks as if EBADF is treated specially on purpose. Errors are
reported for ENOSPC for instance:

$ zsh -c 'echo asd >> mnt/a; echo $?'
zsh:echo:1: write error: no space left on device
1


For print and printf to fail with an error upon EBADF, you can do:

print -u1 -- Sstring
print -u1 -f "$format" -- ...
