Ok, did a little research and testing on this and I see what is going on. When the zone is initialized, the default npc quest file is chosen because npc and zone have not yet been passed:

	string filename= "quests/", packagename = GetPkgPrefix(npcid);
	//each package name is of the form qstxxxx where xxxx = npcid (since numbers alone are not valid package names)
	questMode curmode = questDefault;
	FILE *tmpf;
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, "LoadScript(%d, %s):\n", npcid, zone);
	if(!npcid || !zone)
	{
//LogFile->write(EQEMuLog::Debug, "	default 1");
		filename += DEFAULT_QUEST_PREFIX;
		filename += ".pl";
		curmode = questDefault;
	}

So the system will always load quests/default.pl as the default. I can't see a way to pass the zone to attempt quests/zone/default.pl before finally settling on quests/default.pl
