That's because the keep-prefix style defaults to "changed" which means
that the prefix expands if and only if the suffix does not. So you also
want
zstyle ':completion:*:expand:*' keep-prefix true
which means to never expand the prefix.
} It still seems strange to me that (without the above suffix option)
} foo* gets glob expansion but ~/foo* does not. Surely this should not
} be the default even if this turns out (for some strange reason) not to
} be a bug.
I never noticed this myself because using
zstyle ':completion:*' matcher-list '' 'r:|[._-,]=* r:|=*'
zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand _complete _match
causes most glob expansions to occur during the matching phase.
In light of the examples you've given, I think the suffix style should
have its meaning completely reversed (which probably means we ought to
change its name, sigh) so that the default is to expand the suffix and
the setting "false" means to NOT expand it.
