Yes, I think _tilde_files should do that always.

Hm. Maybe, but not unconditionally because currently _tilde_files
always does the expansion, not only if there is a $IPREFIX.
The solution would be an option for _tilde_files that makes it do
expansion only if the is a IPREFIX (or maybe an option with an argument
which is taken as a pattern and _tilde_files expands only if IPREFIX
matches that) and changing the actions in the calls to _arguments and
_values (unless the commands do tilde-expansion themselves).
