cursor here; too many hyphens.
This probably has something to do with my match specs.

'r:|[._-,]=* r:|=* l:|=*'
(Side note: I keep thinking I probably want ** instead of * in at least
one of those, but I'm not sure which.)

Err...? The reported number of hyphens and the cursor position is
correct if you look at the possible completions:
% ./configure --w<TAB>
% ./configure ---zsh-mem-warning
--disable-zsh-mem-warning --enable-zsh-mem-warning

That last one, of course, is the explanation why `--w' matches the
option at all (the leading two hyphens can be inserted because of the
`l:|=*').

Oh, a trick question. Hm, let's see. You won't want it in any of the
`r:|=*' nor in the `l:|=*' because that should give the same results.
So it can be only one of the other `r:...'s. Since using '' as the
first spec shows that you are careful, you probably don't want it in
the second match spec...
Sorry ;-)
But look at those character classes. `[._-,]'. That means `.' and
everything between and including `_' and `,'. Since '_' > ',', the
whole class is the same as `.'.
Bye
