Sorry to answer my own email...

Ah, I think it's being caused by another zstyle command (this one came
from the man pages)

  zstyle ':completion:*' file-patterns \
    '%p:globbed-files *(-/):directories' '*:all-files'

A somewhat odd interaction!  Generally, I liked that example a lot.
I've always wanted the ability to do something like

   gv path/down/to<complete>

and get completion for paths and then just get completion for *.ps at
the end.  Perhaps I can restrict that last zstyle to everything but
the ls command.
