Consider the following two cases:
% X=`cat $HOME/t<TAB>
% X=`cat ~/t<TAB>
In 'zsh -f' + compinit, the former works but the latter doesn't.
I expect the latter to behave as the former does.

The last related discussion seems to be 35515/35539.
The `functions -t _main_complete` transcripts of the two cases first
diverge at _path_files:255, where «$HOME/t» takes the 'if' branch and
«~/» the 'else' path:
% nl -ba _path_files
253 # Now let's have a closer look at the string to complete.
254
255 if [[ "$pre" = [^][*?#^\|\<\>\\]#(\`[^\`]#\`|\$)*/* && "$compstate[quote]" != \' ]]; then
256
257 # If there is a parameter expansion in the word from the line, we try
258 # to complete the beast by expanding the prefix and completing anything
259 # after the first slash after the parameter expansion.
⋮
276 elif [[ "$pre[1]" = \~ && -z "$compstate[quote]" ]]; then
277
278 # It begins with `~', so remember anything before the first slash to be able
279 # to report it to the completion code. Also get an expanded version of it
⋮
322 else
323 # If the string does not start with a `~' we don't remove a prefix from the
324 # string.
⋮
353 fi

I don't think those are related, completing after ~/ works elsewhere.
The real difficulty seems to follow from testing $compstate[quote] on
line 276:
} 276 elif [[ "$pre[1]" = \~ && -z "$compstate[quote]" ]]; then
} 277
} 278 # It begins with `~', so [...]
The word on line does begin with tilde, but that's ignored because it is
inside the backticks.
The test could be either != [\'\"] or = (|\`) but I went with the latter
because the former confuses vim syntax highlighting.
