this is due to w/54376, which changed zparseopts to use the standard
option-parsing facilities. in short you now need to protect long-option
specs with - or -- as in `zparseopts -D -E - -extra=arg1`

(this is ofc mentioned as an incompatibility in the README)

i laid out my thinking for this in the post and didn't get any
objections there or on irc, but lmk if you want to discuss further
