I made an experiment on my machine:
:e ~p<c-a>
gives:    :e ~pel proxy pulse  (good!)

Then I created a new user "pel2" and did:
: e ~p<c-a>      gives  :e ~pel pel2 proxy pulse  (good)
: e ~pe<c-a>     gives  :e ~pel pel2   (good)
: e ~pel<c-a>     gives  :e /home/pel/   (does not look right!)

I expected  to get  :e ~pel pel2  in the last case.

In your case, I suspect that you have a user name called "a"
which is triggering the bug.

It looks like a bug in vim found by the test.
