This looks like it could be a serious problem.  The code in question is
this:

    if [[ -n "$call" ]]; then
      if "${(@)argv[3,-1]}"; then
        ret=0
        break 2
      fi
    elif "$tmp"; then
      ret=0
      break 2
    fi

_approximate is being called as "$tmp" here.  It returns 1, but the
test succeeds and breaks out of the loop, because _approximate uses
"trap 'unfunction compadd' EXIT INT" and the return code of the trap
is being propagated rather than the return code of _approximate.
