We should document zic's behavior better, yes. As I vaguely recall, it's done this way on purpose and so is a feature and not a bug. Perhaps Arthur's less-fallible memory can cite chapter and verse about when and why the behavior was put into zic. I gave the documentation a shot by installing the attached patch into the development version. Further improvements would be welcome.
