Bug: history-search-backward ignores search text after first space character?

(copied from
http://superuser.com/questions/943993/history-search-backward-ignores-search-text-after-first-space-character
)

 use a lot of git commands and since they are mostly 2-word command names,
matching doesn't find the closest match. For example:

# type in some commands
git checkout -
git status
mvn test
# try to autocomplete based on the history. I want "git checkout -" to
be filled in, but instead "git status" is filled in.
git c<history-search-backward>
git status

Notice the space and c that I typed in are ignored in the autocomplete.

I assume this is some shortcoming of the zsh completion system. Is this
true? Or am I misunderstanding the functionality?
