No, there is no ambiguity (cdablevars should only work when there is no
dir with that name) and, in any case, these choices are spurious in the
sense that, if accepted and executed, they fail (just like cd <int>
won't expand to cd ~<int>).

This will happen with clean "completion styles"

zsh -f

autoload -U compinit
compinit -D -C

setopt cdable_vars

mkdir -p test_cd
cd test_cd

dirstack=(/etc /usr /var)

mkdir -p 2/a 2/b 2/c

loki% cd 2/[TAB]
a/           c/           games/       lib/         lost+found/  share/
b/           dict@        include/     lib64/       openwin@     src/

loki% cd 2/bin
cd: no such file or directory: 2/bin
