Dear zsh-workers,

A few months ago the zsh completions for rsync stopped working correctly.
Tab completion of remote paths currently triple escapes special characters,
for example:

$ rsync -av 1.2.3.4:/home/me/downloads/Some\\\ File\\\ With\\\ Spaces ~/

This now results in an error, ie:

rsync: link_stat "/home/me/downloads/Some\ File\ With\ Spaces" failed:
No such file or directory (2)

I have to manually correct the triple escapes to use a single escape like
this for it to work:

$ rsync -av 1.2.3.4:/home/me/downloads/Some\ File\ With\ Spaces ~/

After some research I found that rsync 3.2.4 introduced changes to argument
parsing behavior¹ on 2022-04-15. This was patched by the fish shell²
recently shortly after the rsync 3.2.4 release.

Apologies if the zsh-workers is not the correct place to post this. I would
appreciate any advice or assistance on this, for example if it's a
distribution issue I will gladly file an issue elsewhere. I'm on Arch Linux
with zsh 5.9 and rsync 3.2.5.

Thank you!
