The reproduction recipe requires ./x:foo to exist and be a valid tar
archive.

Can you try this?

diff --git a/Completion/Unix/Command/_tar b/Completion/Unix/Command/_tar
index f9901c0c9..1cabd9713 100644
--- a/Completion/Unix/Command/_tar
+++ b/Completion/Unix/Command/_tar
@@ -158,7 +158,7 @@ elif [[ ( "$_tar_cmd" = *[xt]* || -n $del ) && -n "$tf" ]]; then
   fi
 
   if [[ $tf != $_tar_cache_name && -f $tf ]]; then
-    _tar_cache_list=("${(@f)$($words[1] $largs $tf)}")
+    _tar_cache_list=("${(@f)$($words[1] ${words[(r)--force-local]} $largs $tf)}")
     _tar_cache_name=$tf
   fi
 

It doesn't account for possible quoting on the command line.

If it's right, might I ask for someone to commit/push this, please?
Trying not to stretch myself too thin.  Thanks.

Cheers,
