This looks suspicious to me:  the "~" metacharacter is only
understood by shells, and only in certain circumstances (i.e. only at
the beginning of a "word", not after a "="),

This likely the problem, but a reasonable shell (i.e. zsh) will expand in
this circumstance:

zsh only does so with "setopt magicequalsubst".
