It is?
(jschauma@becasse) [jschauma]$ cat /tmp/foo.sh
#!/bin/sh
ls -la ~/
(jschauma@becasse) [jschauma]$ /tmp/foo.sh
[listing of my $HOME snipped]

I guess NetBSD implemented this as well. From expand.c in
/usr/src/bin/sh/
if (*p == '~' && (flag & (EXP_TILDE | EXP_VARTILDE)))
p = exptilde(p, flag);
So "~" is not functional in the original Bourne Shell?
