This is near the end of 19.3.1:
For example:
zstyle -e ':completion:*' completer '
if [[ $words[1] = cvs ]]; then
reply=(_complete)
else
reply=(_complete _approximate)
fi'
uses the value `_complete' for the completer style in most contexts, but
the value `_complete _approximate' when the first word on the command
line is `cvs'.

You mean the code should be the other way round?

Here's an example I actually use, plus another comment.

Only if the behavior described in the text actually makes sense,
that is, is this setting useful? Not if the _approximate completer
bypasses the smarts that make _cvs offer only unversioned files to
cvs add, only versioned (or scheduled for addition) files to cvs ci,
etc.
I don't actually know what will _cvs do with this completer
(svn everywhere I look), I'm just saying this should be considered.
