} When the directory contains a single quote (apostrophe) in its name,

As you're seeing this with zsh -f, it's something in old compctl-based
completion.  With the newer function-based system, it behaves the same 
for me in 4.3.11-dev-1 as it does in 4.2.0 (both of which differ from
the way it [doesn't] work with zsh -f).

I can confirm that 4.3.11-dev-1 run with -f behaves the way you describe
4.3.10-14ubuntu1 as working, but 4.2.0 *also* behaves for me the way you
describe 4.3.10-14ubuntu1 as working, so I'm not sure which version you
had that worked differently.
