In particular, the bash completion is probably looking only at the
single word after which TAB was pressed, whereas the OMZ completion
has been written to syntax check the entire context using the
_regex_arguments mechanism.

% task add due:1h<TAB>

completes to

% task add due:1hrs

Conversely,

% task add due:1h pro<TAB>
parse failed before current word
