Try:

zstyle ':completion:*' accept-exact-dirs true

The trade off is in path completion:

  ls /usr/l/bin/<TAB>

will usually allow "l" to complete to "local".  With the setting above,
it won't do that if the directory "l" already exists, it'll just blindly
accept it.  I happen to prefer it that way anyway.
