Yeah, I know that, but I'm overriding it, which works fine with
#compdef, but not with compdef. How do you explain that?

Besides, the problem is with bash completion emulation where 'words'
is not supposed to be special, so zsh is messing things up.

#!bash

autoload -U +X bashcompinit && bashcompinit

set_vars ()
{
	cur="foo"
	words="foo"
	cwords="foo"
}

_foo ()
{
	local cur words cwords
	set_vars

	echo "cur=${cur} words=${words} cwords=${cwords}" >> /tmp/comp_test.txt
}

complete -F _foo foo
