} Why is it completing directories at all? And when it completes users

That part must have something to do with your settings. The final clause
of the _arguments call in _find is to complete directories when nothing
else matches.
There is something going wrong, though:
zagzig[103] find -user <TAB>
Completing user
(list of users only)
zagzig[103] find /tmp -user <TAB>
(feep, no completions)
This (and your case with `!') appears to happen because comparguments
believes the list of options to have been finished when /tmp was put
on the line, i.e., it doesn't deal well with commands whose options
follow a list of non-option arguments.
It may be necessary to rewrite _find using _regex_arguments, or to go
to a state-machine rather than a simple usage of _arguments. I'm not
yet clever enough with _arguments to figure out a workaround, and I'm
totally unfamiliar with _regex_arguments.
