Sorry, I guess my question was a little confused (I shouldn't have said
"completion widgets").  As far as I understand, expand-or-complete and
complete-word are not themselves actual completion widgets (they aren't
generating completion lists) but rather zle widgets that invoke completion.

In fact, complete-word is invoked exactly as "zle complete-word" from
insert-and-predict in predict-on (which works fine).  The problem seems only
to happen when you invoke the dotted version "zle .expand-or-complete" rather
than "zle expand-and-complete".  That is, if I create a new widget to wrap
expand-and-complete that just does "zle expand-and-complete -- "$@"" and bind
tab to it instead, things work fine.
