} Ah, then there's a good chance this is indeed a problem with
} zshtokenize.  We probably ought at least to pass through metafied

} obvious problem.

Nope, the zshtokenize patch doesn't help in this case at all.  I still
get the BUG: message.  Strangely (?) I do NOT get that message if I use
the character directly in a pattern expression such as [[ ... ]], so
it has something to do with the way compdescribe is passing it around.

The three bytes in the UTF-8 character are e2 94 82 if that helps.  See
the examples in 39695 except that you need to add "list-colors" as the
context in the second zstyle in each case.
