I rather suspect it's just because Sven is busy.

} I still haven't had time to write my smbclient completion function.

Hrm, I was just looking at the current _rcs.  It begins:

    local nm=$compstate[nmatches] cmd="${words[1]:t}" ret=1

    if [[ $compstate[nmatches] -eq nm && -d RCS && $cmd != ci ]]; then

[[ $compstate[nmatches] -eq nm ]] can't possibly be false.  There used to
be a call to _files *before* that test, but it got moved to the end by
users/3472.

I played for a few minutes with ${${((s:/:)words[(r)-x*]:s/-x//}:-,v} but 
concluded I wasn't going to get it right in the time I have to spare.  So
consider that a hint towards your rewrite.
