Emulators like ZSNES are highly inaccurate and are built on hacks and hotfixes to get games to play. ROM hacks that are made to function in more accurate emulators (such as SNES9x and bsnes) or real hardware would not work properly or even just not work at all in an emulator like ZSNES.
It's not too dissimilar to Nintendo having a game display a "This cartridge is not meant to run on a GAME BOY. Only a GAME BOY COLOR system can play this game" message if you somehow get a GBC-only title to plop into a DMG.
