That doesn't seem to have anything to do with the widget:

    $ zsh -f
    % autoload compinit
    % compinit
    % sipcalc(){}
    % sipc<TAB><space>

results in BUFFER="sipcalc " with just one space.

You can always <Ctrl+V><Space> to enter a literal space.

The REC_EXACT option works if you change expand-or-complete
to complete-word.  (In this case you may want to add _expand
to your 'completer' zstyle.)
