this works for me using UTF-8 Russian. Backward word has problems but backword 
char works. Or do you mean, characters with double display width? I am not 
aware of these in European languages?

Does not crash here but looks pretty weird:

{pts/1}% pkg/bin/zsh -f
localhost% cd tmp/foo
localhost% autoload -U compinit; compinit
localhost% la Ф
\M-P\M-$1  \M-P\M-$2
localhost% ls
Ф1  Ф2

When I continue to complete it inserts correct string in command line so it is 
just listing that is wrong.

Using complist/menuselect works just nicely. Could you please try to reproduce 
it using zsh -f with the smallest set of extra options. And please, show 
UTF-8 (or UNICDOE) representation of characters that crash zsh and yuor OS 
and locale settings.
