Something's definitely gone wrong with expand-or-complete.  This was not
intentional.

As a workaround, the following should behave the way you want:

bindkey '\t' complete-word
autoload -U compinit
compinit
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand _complete
zstyle ':completion:*:expand:::' glob 1
zstyle ':completion:*:expand:::' substitute 1

If you have some customized compctl commands, you may also want:

zstyle ':completion:*' use-compctl 1

The above consititutes pretty much the minimal set of commands to emulate
the default behavior of expand-or-complete in 3.1.6 and earlier versions
while using the new completion system.
