The backslash is added in _quote_readline_by_ref, by this statement: printf -v $2 %q "$1" It only adds the backslash to unset variables, but not when the variable is set, for instance: zless /usr/share/$PATH/<TAB> does nothing, whereas zless /usr/share/$ASDF/<TAB> zless /usr/share/\$ASDF/ causes the problem you describe... Marking as confirmed and upstream.
