That's far more complicated than necessary.

function _edit_command_to_register_full_path {
  emulate -L zsh
  for element in ${(z)1}; do
    # Don't care about parameters
    [[ $element == -* ]] && continue
    FULLPATH="${element:P}"
    # Don't replace when already the full path
    [[ $element == $FULLPATH ]] && continue
    # Don't replace when path doesn't exist
    [[ -f $FULLPATH || -d $FULLPATH ]] || continue
    # [[:space:]] to protect previous replacements
    # (this is still not foolproof for path prefixes)
    set -- "${1/[[:space:]]$element/ $FULLPATH}"
  done
  print -Sr -- ${1%%$'\n'}
  return 1
}
