With the option --clean, texi2dvi calls pdfetex which fails when the
current directory contains a tilde in its name:
$ pwd
~/src/debian/ram/libaws-2.5~124785/docs # note the tilde
$ texi2dvi -p --expand --clean aws.texi
/usr/bin/texi2dvi: Running pdfetex --file-line-error
'/home/lbrenta/src/debian/ram/libaws-2.5~124785/docs/aws.t2d/pdf/src/aws.texi'
...

I found that a workaround was to use --build-dir instead of --clean
and to make sure the specified build directory does not contain a
tilde in its name; for example:
$ texi2dvi -p --expand --build-dir=$(mktemp -d) aws.texi
