Yes, sorry. I actually intended to source the file, but forgot.
And the fact that the error message doesn't show the interpreter
doesn't help to detect the mistake.

qaa% . ./test.zsh file$'\033'\[H$'\033'\[c$'\n'$'\b'
./test.zsh:1: permission denied: file^[[H^[[c\n^H

So, everything is fine with zsh.
