Possibly but there's the potential reverse problems where Apple programs start depending on newly allocated memory being zero .... and those programs start fail

  Might fail there, too, but only sometimes, if the memory gets allocated again.

  Well the change is to zero out memory on deallocation. So on allocation it may or may not be zero depending on whether it was previously freed, right?

    not necessarily, even if was freed there might be defragged free blocks that still contain heap metadata by the time it gets reallocated
