Hmm.  This is a relatively new problem; here's zsh 4.2.0:

schaefer[505] compdef _systemctl_test foo
schaefer[506] foo <TAB>
-.mount     boot.mount

Here's 4.3.12-dev-1 1.5473:

torch% foo  
_systemctl_test:compadd:2: bad option: -.

The problem seems to be that the generic option parser has already
removed the "--" option before bin_compadd is even called, even though
the declaration

BUILTIN("compadd", 0, bin_compadd, 0, -1, 0, NULL, NULL)

says that compadd is going to do all its own option parsing.

This probably affects some other builtins as well.
