Indeed it explicitly says that "~" will be interpreted specially:
Second arg DEFAULT-DIRECTORY is directory to start with if NAME is
relative (does not start with slash or tilde); both the directory name
and a directory's file name are accepted.
So AIUI (expand-file-name "~") should be equivalent to
(directory-file-name (expand-file-name "~/")).
