This is a problem with old compctl, not compsys.

With compinit run and LANG=C and/or "unset LANG" I get:

schaefer<504> cat *<TAB>
schaefer<504> cat a
Completing expansions
a         b$'\300'  c       
Completing all expansions
a b$'\300' c
Completing original
*

With LANG=en_US I get:

schaefer<506> cat *<TAB>
schaefer<506> cat a
Completing expansions
a   bÀ  c 
Completing all expansions
a bÀ c
Completing original
*

With "compsys" turned off (old compctl completion) I get the something
sensible when LANG=en_US:

torch% cat *<TAB>
torch% cat a bÀ c

But the bug appears with LANG unset:

torch% cat*<TAB>
torch% cat a b

So the recipe PWS wants is just to run "zsh -f".
