Welcome to my day :-/

Yes, it's already a know issue, but didn't turn up in regular testing
since I don't use DOS drive syntax (why would I?) and it didn't occur to
me to try.  Sloppy testing on my part, I suppose, but the ChangeLog didn't
talking about anything effecting path resolve.

Not that I know of (yet).  Something changed in the completion system
that's conflicting with path resolve.  I'm trying to track it down.
You could always simply not used compinit?  No?  Oh well.
The Zsh list has already been notified of the problem, but I haven't seen
anyone comment yet.
In the mean time, simply revert to 4.3.4 and move along.  :-)

Because it wasn't a know issue, nor was it expected as such.
Stay tuned.  Hopefully a workaround will be posted soon.
