zgrep is part of the "gzip" package, not grep.
This bug looks a lot like 314342 and friends, which have been fixed a
long time ago:
gzip (1.3.5-11) unstable; urgency=low
* patch from Peter Samuelson for bashism in zgrep,
closes: #314342, #314211, #312380, #310329

Line 103 of newer zgrep is not a substitution, so it seems like your
/bin/sh is not bash and your gzip package is old (the "Bad substitution"
string appears in dash, but not in bash or sed).
Could you send the output of "ls -l /bin/sh" and "dpkg -l gzip" on a
machine where this problem occurs?
Thanks,
