[issue12616] zip fixer fails on zip()[:-1]

[Vlada Peric]

New submission from Vlada Peric <vlada.peric at gmail.com>:

The zip fixer fails on this code:

zip(B, D)[:-1]

I fixed this by wrapping explicitly with list(), but that creates a duplicate list on Python 2. 

(Like the other fixes I reported, I assume this also applies to 3.3, but I didn't test it so I don't know; adding Eric and Benjamin to nosy, though)
