Zoned standalone fields are always converted into packed fields.

Which shouldn't be all that surprising, really. As I recall, I've seen similar conversions with file fields that aren't otherwise defined: zoned in the file becomes packed in the program, but it's all completely hidden unless you're looking at it in the debugger, or passing it as a parameter to something else.
