} Could you share the reproducer for this please?

Run this anywhere with more than one subdirectory not all of which have
a common prefix; e.g., the zsh source tree:

torch% compinit -D
torch% _f () { _files -g '*(/M)' }
torch% compdef _f f
torch% zstyle \* file-patterns %p:globbed-files
torch% f <TAB>
torch% f /

If the zstyle is omitted, the groups globbed-files and directories contain
identical sets of matches but are for some reason not de-duped against one
another (probably because none of them matches an actual file name) so you
get a listing instead of the unambiguous-insertion behavior.
