That was a crash when completing after the "<" in

  for f in 1; do < x

which was very easy to reproduce, and that's still working after the
change.

Regression tests for interactive features is another place needing a
volunteer (who wouldn't need to know about internals).  Felix did some
good work on Zle testing but it really needs a permanent maintainer.

get_comp_string() is screaming out for something less ad hoc, but I
don't know what that is apart from rewriting the shell to provide a
partial parse tree for a given context, which isn't going to happen.
