I have no experience whether zsh is appropriate for this.
Certainly zshrc-mv is not written with this case in mind,
and probably you should refrain from using
zsh-syntax-highlighting or auto-fu-zsh
(The duplication you observe might come from this:
Sometimes the whole line is rewritten to print the
words in appropriate color, and auto-fu-zsh
auto-completes during typing).

Yes: It is the choices, occasionally mixed with
explanations - one sees the difference usually by color.
If you press tab 3 times you can select from the choices
(the selection is inverted). Probably, if you have to listen
to which one is inverted (instead of seeing it), just typing
the name is probably more convenient.
So I completely agree that for a non-seeing person the whole
completion system is an anti-feature.
