Well, that was your first mistake. :-)  You should be able to get the
effect you want using styles.

I'm not sure I'm following the last part of that, but what you need to
look at is the documentation for the tag-order zstyle.  I use this:

    zstyle :completion::complete:cd:: tag-order \
	local-directories path-directories

This says to complete only local directories if there are matches for
those, and if there are no local matches then complete only directories
that are found in the cdpath.  Look at the documentation for "Standard
Tags" to find explanation of local-directories and path-directories.

If you want to complete directories in both places but only show the
local ones in listings, you can use the "hidden" style like so:

    zstyle :completion::complete:cd::path-directories hidden yes

(That's not very clear from the documentation for the "hidden" style.)
You probably don't want to use both tag-order and hidden in this case,
but there might be contexts in which you would.
