Hm. It works for me (even without the patch below). What I'm doing is:

  bindkey -M menuselect / accept-and-infer-next-history

then select e.g. a directory and hit / -- for me this continues
completion in the selected directory.

The patch fixes a small problem when a-a-i-n-h'ing a something
unambiguous (the list was left in place).

Throwing away the old list before stepping down might be a good idea
anyway...

I've tracked it down: it's incompatible with the _oldlist key oldlist_menu,
which says to keep the old menu.  As far as I can see, it has no way of
knowing that you really want to try a different completion at that point,
so there's no way of using _oldlist here.

accept-and-infer-next-history in menu selection

[Peter Stephenson]

I can't get accept-and-infer-next-history to work in menu selection at
all.  It simply cycles round to the next match.  What could I be doing
wrong?
