I don't think that's necessary. It seems to me that in the reverse direction (which is the forward, usually unused direction for the zener) the zener would attempt to conduct, so it would have low forward resistance, and the silicon rectifier would have the bulk of the voltage drop. Does that sound correct or am I missing something?
