Especially the latter shows that this is completely independent of the
aliasing.


Yes, sorry for misrepresentation, it doesn't depend on alias.

The only thing I'm sure is that this has been broken after the last update.

I've found it!

There was an _mv function in my .zshrc, which was not used:

function _mv
{
...
}
#alias mv='_mv'


all works fine after commenting out the function itself.

While I can reproduce all these three after

% alias mv='mv --interactive'

I still cannot reproduce these:

Especially the latter shows that this is completely independent of the
aliasing.

Is there a chance that this happened inside a zsh 5.4.2 which was
already running before you upgraded the package to 5.5-1 and that this
causes this issue. (At least it is known that not yet used/loaded
completions fail if the zsh upstream version has been bumped while zsh
process was still running.)

Regards, Axel
