This is what _path_files does.

What's odd about it?  The behavior should be that the unambiguous part
at the left is completed, and then the cursor stops at the first
ambiguous point.  For example, if I do:

% ls /u/l/b<TAB>

I get, with cursor after the "l" (over the third "/"):

% ls /usr/l/b

If I hit TAB again:

% ls /usr/l/b
libexec/  local/

When does this fail for you?

Under the entry for _path_files.

No way for us to tell.  Have you tried using the ctrl+x question-mark
binding to get a completion traceback?
