I've verified that the completion code is going through
#'pcomplete/gzip. From inspection, I see that #'pcmpl-gnu-zipped-files
only considers regular files, so directories get filtered out.

I haven't found any user options or variables that will let me get the
behavior I want, so I ended up putting this workaround in my startup
code:
(defadvice pcomplete-find-completion-function (after
mdk-reliable-completions
compile
activate)
"Force use of the generic completion function."
(setq ad-return-value nil))
