Try changing the ignore-line style to `other'. That is:
  zstyle ':completion:*:(rm|cp|mv):*' ignore-line other

Otherwise the current word (`a' in this case) is ignored along with any
preceding words.

The default if you don't have a completer style is for _ignored to be
run after _complete so normally that would pick up the current word. So
if you prefer, you can add the _ignored completer.

See the zsh-workers discussion starting 15998 for more on the
limitations of ignore-line.
