No, like any --with-XXX-library, it takes any of these (see acinclude.m4):

dnl     * boolean (no, yes or blank): whether to use library or not
dnl     * file: assumed to be the name of the library
dnl     * directory: assumed to *contain* the library

It seems like there is simply no such directory $HOME/bin/libpng/lib.

The error message is misleading, because of a new autoconf behaviour,
I will fix it. The fixed error message will be:

configure: error: --with-png-library argument must be yes/no, file or directory
