Zidane & Relm's Sketching Bug
Situation: Opponent has Zidane, Tantalous Thief in play. You cast Relm's Sketching, creating a copy of Zidane. The copy targets their original Zidane, and you take control of it for the turn.
Once you have control of two Zidanes, you choose one to keep. You are able to keep control of your token Zidane just fine. However, when you choose to keep yours and their copy goes to their graveyard, my copy of Zidane triggers and gives them a treasure token. Since they're never re-gaining control of the permanent, they should not get a treasure token.

You are misunderstanding the situation. Their Zidane triggered to make a treasure, because you took control of it. Thus an opponent gained control of a permanent they controlled. Zidane dying to the legend rule doesn't even factor in here.
From Zidanes gatherer rulings:
If an opponent gains control of Zidane from you, Zidane's last ability will trigger and you'll create a Treasure token. If an opponent gains control of Zidane and one or more other permanents from you simultaneously, Zidane's last ability will trigger for each of those permanents, including itself. This means you'll create a Treasure token for each of those permanents, including Zidane.
