I can reproduce this using puppet 4.4.2 from puppet-agent 1.4.2, definitely
seems like a bug. You can "cd ~user" in a bash shell so I wonder if somebody
somewhere made something which works similarly. I'd be interested in watching
the bug you file because I'm nosy.
$ cat /tmp/x.pp
file { '/tmp/x~x':
content => "x\n",
}
file { '/tmp/~x':
content => "x\n",
}
file { '/tmp/x~':
content => "x\n",
}
$ puppet apply /tmp/x.pp
