Time for <C-x?> and a look at the trace output.  As I said, I don't use
mutt, so it's not straightforward for me to debug this stuff.

Right now _mailboxes understands "mailboxes" and "files in $maildirectory"
as two separate groups, and the prefix `=' is used to introduce "mailboxes"
rather than being an abbreviation for $maildirectory.

It would be possible to treat `=' both ways by moving the `compset -P' test
from the `case' statement down into the `while _tags' loop, I think; it
would also be necessary to special-case the _files call for mutt to pass
it -W $maildirectory, and maybe some other things ...
