"╭─ " Character combo in $PATH causes strange autocompletion behavior in zsh

I've posted about this before, but only recently narrowed the problem down to a specific cause. Ok, first of all, the behavior: It occurs when autocompletion brings up its list (not when there is only a single option). Basically, if I were to type, say, cd ~/<TAB> I would get something...

xmregistersegmentencoding

XmRegisterSegmentEncoding(3X)											     XmRegisterSegmentEncoding(3X)

NAME

       XmRegisterSegmentEncoding - A compound string function that registers a compound text encoding format for a specified font list element tag

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Xm/Xm.h>

       char * XmRegisterSegmentEncoding (fontlist_tag, ct_encoding)
	       char *fontlist_tag;
	       char *ct_encoding;

DESCRIPTION

       XmRegisterSegmentEncoding  registers a compound text encoding format with the specified font list element tag.  The XmCvtXmStringToCT func-
       tion uses this registry to map the font list tags of compound string segments to compound text encoding formats.  Registering a	font  list
       tag  that already exists in the registry overwrites the original entry.	You can unregister a font list tag by passing a NULL value for the
       ct_encoding parameter.  Specifies the font list element tag to be registered.  The tag must be a NULL-terminated ISO8859-1 string.   Speci-
       fies the compound text character set to be used for segments with the font list tag.  The value must be a NULL-terminated ISO8859-1 string.
       A value of XmFONTLIST_DEFAULT_TAG maps the specified font list tag to the code set of the locale.

RETURN VALUE

       Returns NULL for a new font list tag or the old ct_encoding value for an already registered font list tag.   The application is responsible
       for freeing the storage associated with the returned data (if any) by calling XtFree.
