I've got something along the same lines. The other week I was trying to
install vim7 in my ~/bin/ directory at work and somehow managed to get it to
create a ~/bin/$HOME directory. Yep, it made a directory called $HOME.

If this ever happens to you, do not type rm -rf $HOME....

Of course, it wasn't as clear as my example makes it, and it was
driving me nuts...  but maybe it's just because it's still kinda early
