OK, so _path_files (called from _complete) is failing.  What happens
if you leave off the trailing "3"?

I suspect the issue is that expanding /v/m/s/f/ uses only prefixes --
that is, only the first letter of each directory name is expanded to
the full name -- whereas 3 is a suffix, so you need something else to
do that final bit of matching.  That would explain why "*3" works.

The way to find out is to use _complete_debug (bound to ctrl-x
question-mark by default) to get a call trace.
