An helper function ?

  _with_dummy_arg0 () {  #  I'm not good at finding names...
       words=(dummy $words)
       (( ++CURRENT ))
       $@
  }

  _arguments -a -b '-c:*::blah: _with_dummy_arg0 _arguments -c -d -e'

Quite ugly, but looks understandable.  But taht way we can't get
the 'parent' option (-c) for the dummy as you suggested.
