So, we decided to put this mystery to the test.
We have created an level with Trigger Zones and a door. The door doesn't open after we've walked through that event.
It opened only with the ID setted on 1.
So, myth Confirmed?
Well, we thought it. But after one final control test: a ID 1 to open it and a ID0 after the door... the door closed!!!
So, Triggers DOES! work when the ID is set to 0. It is only another way, but they works.
This myth is as yet rubbish!
End result: Myth BUSTED

Lack of research. There are several parameters to a Trigger Zone, and there are two kinds of Triggers to begin with. Allow me to explain:
Trigger Crate: the standard trigger mechanism. Only goes one way (you can't use another crate to reset the trigger), works with ID=0.
Trigger Zone: the other trigger mechanism. Has three parameters: OnOff, Switch, ID. OnOff is what reverses the trigger: OnOff = 1 is the regular setting, OnOff = 0 resets the trigger. Switch is useless, and you know the ID parameter. Trigger Zones do not work when ID = 0, *THAT* is what the DYK? was refering to. I take it you toyed with the OnOff parameter? Wrong one.
And yes, I tried copying your "research" but didn't get the result you claimed.
What I did was this:
Experiment 1:
Trigger Sceneary with ID = 0
Trigger Zone with ID = 0, OnOff = 1
Result:
After walking through the Trigger Zone nothing happened: nothing triggered.
Experiment 2:
Trigger Scenery with ID = 1
Trigger Zone with ID = 1, OnOff = 1
Result:
This time the Scenery did trigger
Experiment 3
Trigger Scenery with ID = 0
Trigger Crate with ID = 0
Result:
After destroying the crate the Scenery was triggered.
Conclusion: Only Trigger Zones don't work when ID = 0, Trigger Crates do work.
Myth Confirmed.
