Of course the root of all this is that "subcommands" are not a concept

You can't unless you're willing to unsetopt correctall.  Zsh assumes
that anything after the command word that doesn't start with a hyphen
is an ordinary argument, and the most common kind of ordinary argument
is a file name, and there you are.

Well ... you can hack something ... like so:

    zle-line-init() {
      # Reset correctall in case finish unset it
      setopt no_localoptions correctall
    }
    zle-line-finish() {
      if [[ $BUFFER = (${~CORRECTALL_IGNORE})* ]]
      then setopt no_localoptions no_correctall
      fi
    }
    zle -N zle-line-init
    zle -N zle-line-finish

    CORRECTALL_IGNORE="git flow feature "

Here CORRECTALL_IGNORE is a pattern, so you can add alternatives with
"|" between, etc.
