Another multicomp nit

This bit of code:
if [[ -n "$pref" && -z $sofar[2] && -d "${sofar}$head" ]]; then
# Exactly matched directory: don't try to glob
reply=("${sofar}$head")
Is obviously supposed to implement this behavior:
# Note that exactly matched directories are not expanded, e.g.
# s/zsh-2.4/s<TAB> will not expand to src/zsh-2.4old/src.
There seem to be an extremely limited number of cases where this applies.
For example,
zagzig% ls /u/s/l/z/zsh-3.1.4/s<TAB>
produces
zagzig% ls /usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4-build/Src
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4-build/Src
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4-build/stamp-h.in
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4-orig/Src
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4-orig/StartupFiles
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4-orig/stamp-h.in
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4/Src
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4/StartupFiles
Clearly, it expanded zsh-3.1.4, even though that's an exactly matched
directory. The reason it doesn't work seems to be that, one level up,
/usr/src/local/zip also matches /u/s/l/z/. See:
zagzig% ls /u/s/l/zsh/zsh-3.1.4/s<TAB>
produces
zagzig% ls /usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4/Src
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4/Src
/usr/src/local/zsh/zsh-3.1.4/StartupFiles
Is the exact-match test even worthwhile?
