The help file specifies: A tilde (~) placed immediately before pattern specifies a negative match. That is, it specifies a pattern or a part of a pattern that does not match the expression or a part of the expression. The match is true only if string and pattern are of equal length and differ in at least one character.
Since you are testing for length and the lengths are the same the tilde doesn't come into play.

UV 10.2/aix Can someone tell me if this would be expected output. Specifically the tilde modifier on the match pattern appears to not be working. I would have thought that the last column was the opposite result...
