In filename generation, is there a way to instruct zsh not to follow
symbolic links?

Unfortunately, it is not possible to use glob qualifiers on
pathname components (except the last one, i.e. ending the pattern),
e.g. *(/)/foo, even though there would be no ambiguity in parsing
(because a slash cannot appear in a pathname component).
