} Note this ^@ and not removed suffix instead of blank.

In acceptandmenucomplete() in zle_tricky.c, there's this fragment:

    cs = menuend + menuinsc;
    inststrlen(" ", 1, 1);
    menuinsc = menulen = 0;
    menupos = cs;

menuend is supposed to be "the end position of this string in the command
line" and menuinsc "is the length of any suffix that has been temporarily
added."  However, at that point menuend is large enough to *include* the
trailing slash.  In 3.0.5's acceptandmenucomplete(), menuinsc is not added 
when computing cs.

So I don't know if this is a general problem -- that menuend is just plain
wrong, and anything that refers to it will be messed up -- or if that ref
to menuinsc crept in by mistake and should be deleted (in which case the
suffix doesn't get autoremoved), or if there's a whole lot of suffix-removal
code that ought to be copied from 3.0.5, or what.
