No, it's not zsh itself, but the current mtn zsh completion code.

Can you please try the attached (trivial) patch and see whether that behaves 
the way you expect? It enables completion of complete paths. Performance 
might be a problem, though, and if it is, we might try the other solution I 
mentioned earlier (completing in cwd, and additionally completing all 
directories).
