} Wow. Tricky.  I would never have figured that out on my own.

You might have.  '-A' by itself is '-A' with an empty argument, right?

Try it this way to see better:

_arguments : \
    "-A-[this is a test]:test:(('\:by itself, -A is a simple test'
        a\:'with this argument, -A tests a sub-message'))"
