I was based on my experiments[1]. But I discovered that my
/etc/sudoers didn't contain following config line:

Defaults       secure_path
"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/

So ignore the sudo part as it should be no problem. The bash completion even
changes PATH to contain the sbin directories for sudo but zsh seems to honor PATH
and doesn't extend to check for programs.
