I have zstyles, but it makes no difference if they are executed or
not.  However, I noticed that running 'zsh -f' and running compinit by
hand made things work again, so the problem must have been in my rc
files.

As it turns out, in my .zshenv I have 'setopt nocaseglob'.  If I
remove that (or 'setopt caseglob' at a prompt), I can complete paths
with .. again.  This behavior must have changed since 4.2.1, since
I've had that option setting for ages.
