} Thanks, this did the trick!

} This, however, doesn't seem to work: with or without the former this
} stops completion for foo altogether.

Yes, that's connected to this:

If you fix the glob pattern to remove the (M) qualifier, then tag-order
works (at least for me).  If you leave the (M) in there, tag-order is
broken.  I don't really understand why this is the case; it seems to
have something to do with whether the string passed to "compadd" really
does match a file name (which it won't when the "/" is appended).
