Yes there is a fix, but that is if you are *in* a directory with ~:
        mkdir /tmp/foo~bar
        cd /tmp/foo~bar
        cat "....." > foo.texi
        texi2dvi foo.texi
did break before, now it works. But the other case:
        mkdir /tmp/foo~bar
        cat "..." > /tmp/foo~bar/foo.texi
        texi2dvi /tmp/foo~bar/foo.texi
breaks as you know.
