Ah, I see.

As I said before, it's really got to do with how _autocd insinuates itself
into the process.

Autocd makes itself the handler for -command-.  It then calls both
_command_names and _cd, each of which takes a spin through _alternative,
so it goes around the _tags loop twice as well.

If there were only one pass through _alternative, I think you'd get what
you're looking for; but because there are two passes and there are no
*additional* completions for the "command" tag added inside _cd, all
the defaults for _cd get added as well.

So, unfortunately, I don't believe you can get what you want with
zstyles.  You'll have to rewrite _autocd, something like so:

#compdef -command-
_command_names && return 0
[[ -o autocd ]] && _cd && return 0
return 1
