Err... since you wrote this code you should understand, so it is
probably me not understanding your question.

Btw.: you don't need that _alternative there when there's only one
specification (i.e.: no choice anyway). You could use something like:

  local expl

  ...

  _wanted modules expl module compadd -qS. ...

Why not put the `$DYNAMO_HOME/../' before the glob pattern? The (:t)
will remove it anyway.
