There's something else about your configuration that you're not telling
us, because I can't get any completions at all for *mevar unless I
"setopt globcomplete", and I don't get any error messages even with
that set.

Line 39 of _all_labels is

    "${(@)argv[4,__pre]}" "${(P@)2}" "${(@)argv[__suf,-1]}" && __ret=0

which ends up substituting into something like

     +_all_labels:39> compadd -1 -V -default- -X '%SCompleting %Uhistory word%u%s' -Q -a 'historywords[beg,beg+slice]'
     +_all_labels:39> __ret=0 

(though in your case the assignment to __ret is likely not happening)
