Yes, there's a loop that walks up the tree if there's a path prefix on
the file being completed.  How far up the tree it will look is
controlled by the canonical-paths-back-limit zstyle (default 8
levels).  This is being exacerbated by the -N option because without
-N the :P modifier on the input paths would already have resolved the
symlinks.

Independently, I wonder if we should switch from :P to :A in the
not-dash-N case.
