Yeah, surely that's a bug. The shell returns a wildcard unchanged if it
has no matches, but it seems Vim returns nothing. In this case, if Vim
refers wildcard expansion to the shell, it should check if what it gets
back is the same as what it sent, and assume no matches if it is.
However, in this case, no expansion should be even being attempted,
because the tilde isn't at the start of the string.
So it seems there might be two bugs here.
Ben.
