This is indeed a bug. The tilde '~' was not properly resolved prior to the 
replace-option check. Linux and Unix varieties will most probably exhibit this
bug, unless the underlying API for the platform is smart enough to resolve the
'~'. 

Regardless, it has now been fixed and will be in the next update.
