That probably should be considered a bug.  The ignored-patterns ought
to be getting compared to the original completions, not to the quoted
form that's going to be inserted onto the command line.

The workaround is this:

zstyle -e :completion::complete:cd::path-directories ignored-patterns \
	'reply=( ${PREFIX}*(-/:q) )'

I don't promise that'll catch all possible cases of odd characters in
file names, but it should get most of the common ones.
