Out of interest, was there a real prefix where you came across this.
I was trying to think of more realistic prefixes to see how this
might affect them:
% compdef 'compadd -P file:// /papa //mama /nana aaaa filter' f
before: f fil<tab> → file://
after : f fil<tab> → file://filter
That now seems a bit too aggressive.
How about allowing the longest common prefix to be equal to either
the -P prefix or equal to $PREFIX.
