I think you have this correct -- completion is designed to put nearly
all of its data in a private zsh heap that is discarded all at once
when control returns to the line editor.  Only specific bits that persist
across calls go into directly-malloc'd memory.

I think you have this in the right place, too, but I would be glad to
have someone else confirm.  Or we can just put it in and see if any
other examples break.
