OK, as has been pointed out by about 25 people, the mistake is not Nxe4, but
Bxh6 (a move which somehow I conviently omitted from the my line).

[D]3q1rk1/pp1bppbp/3p2pB/8/3Nn1P1/2P1QP2/P1P5/2KR3R b - - 0 18

Even this one is pretty hard for Zappa, it needs 70 seconds to realize Bxh6 is
losing and 6 minutes switch to Nf6.
