I use
compctl -g '*(-/)' + -g '.*(-/)' cd

Which doesn't reproduce the behaviour that you have been describing - it
works fine even when going into the .netscape/ directory.

Another thing:
zsh doesn't complete on ./ and ../, you may have to include those
explicitly with something like

-g '.*(-/) ./ ../'
