} 
} Not sure if I got it right, but I think I can also reproduce it with
} compinit:
} 
} /tmp/zsh-test -> zsh -f
} kiva6% autoload -Uz compinit
} kiva6% compinit
} kiva6% ls a\'b/*<Tab>
} (Does not work, rings the bell.)

You need to try <ctrl+x e> instead of <tab> here, or add something like

    zstyle ':completion:*' completer _expand _complete _ignored

otherwise you're still using the built-in expand-word underneath.
