Okay, my problem was just that I have a stupid
command_not_found_handler that tries to autoload and execute things,
and of course that is run in a subshell so no completions were added
in the parent shell. (eg, I forgot to rm .zcompdump).

I have a number of screenshots with . in the name and it causes these
completions to be added;

   .tar

I guess you go for the first . to get stuff like .tar.gz? Tarballs
often have . in the name for version numbers so I have the same issue
in that directory;
.0.1.zip
.0.14.tar.gz
.0.16.tar.gz
.0.17-patches-0.1.tar.bz2
.0.2.tar.bz2
.0.2.tgz
.0.21.tgz
