} I still can't reproduce it.

I can, but only in 4.0.1, not in 4.0.4 (so far) nor 4.1.x.

The problem is that .complete-word is a completion widget, but it's being
called from a function installed as a normal widget with `zle -N'.  This
confuses the completion code somehow -- I haven't got a sensible stack
trace -- but it appears in 4.1.x as though calling `zle .complete-word'
from a normal widget will bypass the new completion system and always
invoke compctl.

In 4.0.1, on the other hand, it appears to depend on the order in which
one runs `compinit' and `zle -N'.  Sometimes it invokes compctl and all
works well, other times it tries to invoke new completion and blows up.
