Since you know you have Empire Zoysia the product that does work to kill the Bermuda and will not kill your Zoysia grass is called ORNAMEC, when used per directions of course.
I have put down 2 applications and it is doing the job. The bad news about Bermuda grass is that the roots can go down very deep, and this is why you have to be very patient with more than one application. PM me if you want to discuss.

Very interesting! That nice Lawn Forum thread that was mentioned had one poster right at the end who said basically the same about the Ornamec and zoysia. Seems mighty odd that it hasn't become universally known by now. I shall PM you. Thanks!
I did google it but the one thing that came up was a guy who had tried it with a cool weather grass and got some worrisome results.
