Did this happen after updating zsh? What's the old zsh version?

In any case, what's the output of following?

  % head ~/.zcompdump


Problems like this are usually cause by that cache file being out of
date and something is keeping an automatic rebuild from happening.

If you remove the file and restart the shell, the problem should be
gone.
