No, it's a correct method to set/reset the zero flag:
    (X | X) == X just as (X & X) == X

So, he could also write: "and %ecx, %ecx".

I may be wrong, but in the old 386/486 days the "jecxz" was even less
efficient, wasn't it?

Twenty years ago, my z80 programs  had a lot of lines like

  and a
  ret z

Weren't there discussions, if an nmos cpu consumed more electric power with
either "and a" or "or a"? ;-)
