Why use expand-word at all then? Modified from a widget that appeared
on the users list some time ago:
expand-variables() {
local skip="${(M)LBUFFER%%[ \;\|\{\}]##}"
local word="${(M)${LBUFFER%${skip}}%%[^ \;\|\{\}]##}" exp
exp=${(e)word}
[[ -n "$exp" ]] && LBUFFER="${LBUFFER%${word}${skip}}${exp}${skip}"
}
zle -N expand-variables
Or some such.

Maybe I'll have a look some time...

Setting `zstyle ':completion:*:expand:*' glob 1' works for me.
It is a bit irritating that you have to switch on at least one style
to make _expand do anything...
