I can say that Windows uses integers only, it does not use (non-integer) strings for zone-ids, and so does not have ambiguity.
Note that the zone id on a link local like fe80::1 is NOT an interface index per se, it's a link index as explained
in RFC 4007.  On Windows (and most other platforms, I suspect), the link index defaults to be identical to the interface index,
as recommended in that RFC.

Brian,

let me see whether I understand your concern. You seem to be concerned that assigning the name "5" to an interface with interface index 7 leads to an ambiguity. Well, thats likely true since we do not syntactically distinguish between the number 5 and the name "5". I would expect that implementations interpret fe80::1%5 as referring to interface 5 and not 7 (but this perhaps deserves to be clarified, if it is a number the number is interpreted as an interface index and not as an interface name). I assume the same 'ambiguity' may exist on CLI tools, I would have to go and try out what they actually do.

Regarding your statement "Remotely, there is no way to know that on my Linux machine, %wlp2s0 and %3 are the same thing.", please note that applications having access to the IF-MIB or the ietf-interfaces YANG module or a proprietary API exposing interface information will understand how interface names map to interface indexes.

Thus it seems likely that many of the addresses on the wire are in the zone format, even if the zone is rarely present.  With hindsight, it might have been better to have specified 'ip-address' and 'ip-address-zone' rather than ip-address' and io-address-no-zone'.
