Sometimes you have to go closer to the metal, so to speak.

_comma_cats() {
  local categories_array=(aa bb cc)
  if compset -P '*,'
  then
    local already_there=${${IPREFIX//,/|}%|}
    categories_array=(${categories_array:#${~already_there}})
  fi
  compadd -S '' -X categories -a categories_array
}
