`zstyle '*' list-rows-first no` doesn't appear to work

For example, in this environment:

% zsh -f
% autoload compinit
% compinit
% zstyle '*' list-rows-first no
%

No matter which completions I try (except for those that use _describe or
`compadd -ld`), they're always listed horizontally.

What am I missing?

no is the default, set it to yes to see a difference (which you will
only do if there is more than one column in the listing).

The kind of behavior I was hoping for is to always list completions in a single column, using multiple columns only when they don’t all fit on screen.

Is that possible?
