The individual command context is not yet established at the time the
completer style is looked up; more specifically, the completer style is
always checked with the context ":completion:::::" (except in specialty
widgets like insert-and-predict).  The precise context including the
command name (or contexts like "-tilde-") is actually set up *by* the
completers.

} I also tried to change tag-order for the [-tilde-] completer so that it

} well...

Hmm.  The following works for me:

    zstyle ':completion::complete:-tilde-:*' tag-order \
	    named-directories users directory-stack
