I have code that fixes this  -> changes the error to "SRANDOM: can't change
type of autoloaded parameter".

I was reviewing the code of typeset_single in order to understand how
special parameters get localized. I still haven't figured this out but I
noticed that this condition
<https://github.com/zsh-users/zsh/blob/2564174dd6f9289b4e4da2a8122b0f8edd8a62b4/Src/builtin.c#L2115>
is
most likely missing a PM_NAMEREF. After much more digging I finally ended
up with changes that also fix the issue above. More work is needed before I
can send patch(es) but what is already clear is that I need the same
ability to tell assignsparam and assignaparam to not dereference the
assigned parameter as in workers/55026 <https://zsh.org/workers/55026>. It
would be great if you could commit that one, or at least the changes in
zsh.h and params.c.
