No, this is really before a "simple command". For intance,
"nocorrect" is not valid before "for", "if", "!" or "{":

cventin% nocorrect for i in a b ; do echo $i ; done
zsh: parse error near `for'

Or is this a bug? (I do not see a reason to forbid it this case,
and IMHO, "nocorrect" should be allowed as the first word of a
complex command, the semantics being: just ignore "nocorrect",
i.e. it is only used to enable spelling correction.)
