As a workaround until the patch below makes it into release, it would
probably silence this "unmatched" (and possibly make your completions
more pleasing) if you "setopt HIST_LEX_WORDS" in your .zlogin file.
See the description of that option for details.

} $ zsh -f
} % export HISTSIZE=9000
} ...
} % compinit
} % *olo<^[/>
} _all_labels:39: unmatched '
} _all_labels:39: unmatched '

OK, this really isn't directly related to history completion, it's a
generic problem with compadd invoking the parser without first telling it
to be quiet.  With HIST_LEX_WORDS the string being parsed would already
be a fully-quoted expression and the error would not occur in history
word completion (but might occur under other circumstances).
