Hi,
Is there a way to make zsh complete UNC paths like
//machine/C\$/directory/f<complete> in Windows/Cygwin?

//machine/share/directory/f<complete> should work (it does on my
computer at work). I don’t know about C\$-type shares, though.
Perhaps such “names” confuse the completion code.

//machine/share/directory/f<complete> doesn't work either for me.
I'm using the latest (hopefully) Cygwin zsh package (ZSH_VERSION
4.3.12) and I tested without any of my usual .zshrc etc. stuff
except for
autoload -U compinit
compinit -u -d ~/.zcompdump-$HOST

Try setting the accept-exact-dirs zstyle and see if that helps.

It does indeed fix //machine/share/directory/f<complete> and
//machine/C\$/directory/f<complete> but //machine/C\$/<tab> just
causes the shell to get stuck forever (Ctrl-C helps), just like
//machine/<tab> (I guess that one is not surprising as it would
probably require some special code for listing shares).
I have also observed that Program\ Files\ \(x86\)/<tab> fails if
accept-exact style is true. Without the parentheses it doesn't
fail.
It turns out that setting accept-exact-dirs to true in addition to
accept-exact fixes that case.
Admittedly I don't really understand accept-exact, even after
reading the documentation. For some reason I no longer remember I
have copy&pasted it to my .zshrc's Windows/Cygwin specific section
in addition to zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list
'm:{a-zA-Z}={A-Za-z}' (which I believe I understand).
Am I supposed to set accept-exact-dirs to true if accept-exact is
true? Is there something that zsh could do so that users wouldn't
have to set accept-exact-dirs in order to have
//machine/foo/bar/<tab> work?

They do different things, they just happen to be similar enough that the
name is similar.

Not, presumably, without more hacking around with a part of the
completion code that breaks something every single time it gets
changed.
It would be nice to be able to specify plugins to handle appropriate
file contexts, but that's not going to happen until somebody understands
_path_files, and at the moment we're all struggling quite badly.
