Wooha,

Really should have consulted with the manuall a bit better before posting!
Just saw this in man zshall:  BSD_ECHO <S>
     Make the echo builtin compatible with the BSD echo(1) command.
     This  disables  backslashed  escape sequences in  echo strings
     unless the -e option is specified.

My bad.. sorry people.. too many looong nights lately ;-)
