} replacing ~1 with ~+1 which it definitely was before.

Ahem.  It helps to have run compinit in order to see the new completion
behavior.

With compinit -D, I get:

zagzig% autoload -U compinit; compinit -D 
zagzig% pushd /tmp
/tmp ~
zagzig% cd ~1/i<TAB>
(feep)

TAB or C-d doesn't matter, I just get feep.

However:

zagzig% cd ~1/<TAB>
zagzig% cd ~+1/

Thereafter, completion works normally:

zagzig% cd ~+1/i<TAB>
zagzig% cd ~+1/images/

So I still can't reproduce what PWS reported (the "command not found" at
line 153 of _main_complete).  So this question stands:

} Does it perhaps have something more to do with the contents of directories
} in the dirstack than just whether there is a unique match for one of the
} files?

However, looking at C-x? output, there appears to be a problem at line 560
of _path_files.  There's a call to compadd like this:

+_path_files:559> compquote tmp4 tmp1
+_path_files:560> compadd -Qf -J -default- -p ~+1/ -W /home/schaefer/ -M r:|/=* r:|=* -a tmp1

Note the `-p ~+1/' -- the actual string from the line is ~1, so that compadd
fails to add anything even though $tmp1 has the correct value ("images").
This has ultimately come from line 214, which sticks the `+' into $linepath.
