Maybe a stupid answer, but you just have to add a space for the
completion to work as expected, ie:

=E2=80=9Cmpla /home/me/data/subdira/subdirb/The Long and winding commandlin=
e.wav=E2=80=9D

=E2=80=A6with the cursor just after =E2=80=9Cmpla=E2=80=9D.

Since it's something you probably do often (at least I do), you may
want to automatize:

cmdit() {
  LBUFFER=3D' '$LBUFFER
  zle beginning-of-line
}
zle -N cmdit
bindkey WHATEVERKEYYOUWANT cmdit

I personally have a set of programs I often add at the beginning of a
line (sudo, dist, archive extractor, gdb, valgrind=E2=80=A6), now=C2=B9 I o=
nly have
to type something like :
 M-x s for sudo
 M-x g for gdb
 M-x v for valgrind
=E2=80=A6

The cursor does not move, so I can add additional parameters at the
end, if needed.
