Can you mention that this is abomination limited only to zsh
somewhere in the log message?  Or does bash share the same glitch?

If this is limited to zsh, I wonder if we can take advantage of the
fact that we have git-completion.bash and git-completion.zsh to
avoid contaminating shared part of the code.

Thanks.
