I got exactly the same problem - been hunting round for a couple of days 
for the cause. I get it with groupname expansion too (with chown 
username.gr<oupname>)

getent passwd and getent group return same results. Same with or without 
nscd BTW using 258-1+b1 (testing) and 259-1 (unstable).

On this machine everything OK - 251-7.5etch1 (stable).

Going to try this in the morning - haven't played with zsh. Weird if 
it's bash completion specific.
