My posting is much more speculative than I would like and I wish I were on more solid ground.
My reason for posting anyway is if this bias exists (as I strongly suspect based on my own experience and observations, but cannot produce rigorous scientific evidence for) then discussing it is extremely important. A quick Google search shows that very few people have explicitly discussed the possibility of zero-sum bias.
Robert Wright's Non-Zero is a good popularisation of the ideas, but I can't remember whether/how much the alleged bias per se is discussed.
Also, more thought experiments to clearly describe what counts as instances of "zero-sum bias" to follow in future posts :-).
