} _describe 'whatever' lbl compl

} $ testcmd a<tab>
} <nothing>

Puzzling how this one went unnoticed for so long.  The non-matching
descriptions were being discarded but the list of matching completions
was not being updated to correspond, so the arrays of descriptions and
completions were of different lengths and confusion resulted.
