using:
  compdef '_multi_parts / "(HERE/ HERE/one HERE/two)"' foo
is enough to show the problem so it certainly isn't _tar.

If you rearrange the three matches, it is always the first one that is
completed.

This line in the trace output then looks suspicious:
+_multi_parts:94> compadd -O tmp1 -M 'r:|/=* r:|=* ' - HERE HERE HERE

It is followed by assertions being made based upon $#tmp1. So for the
part it is looking at there are three matches but they are all the
same.

This patch fixes the problem by adding all those matches.
