bzr shell completion causes directory completion to not work

Bug Description

[bzr.dev]% ls
300062-better-handling-for-invalid-ignore-pattern/ times.txt
406100-shelve-ignores-mode-change/ trunk/
[bzr.dev]% bzr cdiff --old trunk 300<TAB>

After pressing TAB I would expect the long directory name "300062-better-handling-for-invalid-ignore-pattern" to be completed. However this doesn't happen (lucid, zsh). This is a very annoying as a shell user is normally used to this. I usually end up using ls/pwd + copy/paste while using bzr.

I've hit this too.

I'm not sure but the bug may actually be in the zsh script that's
called: I think it should ask bzr for completions and then also
include directories.
