Alternatively, if you still want cdablevars, but disable users and
named directories in the first completion choices, you can use that:

# to disable named directories in the first completion choices.
zstyle ':completion:*:complete:(cd|pushd):*' tag-order \
  'local-directories path-directories directory-stack' '*'

Works very well for me.
