It is a more specific style pattern so would take precedence over the
general one but for the fact that the pattern doesn't actually match.
For _approximate, the number of corrections is included in the style
when it is looked up so for 1 error, it has :approximate-1:.

Try adding an extra * in:
  zstyle ':completion:*:approximate*:*' group-order original corrections
