In the zsh tree,
.
    _f() { _canonical_paths tag desc $PWD/README }
    compdef _f f
    f <TAB>
.
is enough for me to get the else path to be taken.  For the variant with
-N and quoting,
.
    touch /tmp/My\ File
    ln -s /tmp slashtmp 
    compdef '_canonical_paths -N files files /tmp/My\ File' cmd
    cmd <TAB>
.
gives
.
     1	>>> files
     2	/tmp/My\ File     slashtmp/My File

That's with current HEAD and my nearly-minimal test setup (sets
little besides 'format', 'group-name', $PS1, $PS4, and $fpath).

Cheers,

Daniel
