Oh, bleh. Stupid automatic --tee for valgrind. Try this:
  SHELL="/usr/bin/zsh -x" ./t0000-basic.sh --valgrind

I am also doing my tests with "dash" as my shell. You might try setting your SHELL to /bin/sh to see if it makes a difference.

Maybe the PATH-munging in test-lib.sh is screwing up your PATH somehow. But it all looks pretty simple. The "sh -x" output can maybe tell us more.
