Discovered while investigating the other bug I sent.
1. Create an executable ~/test-bin/test.sh
2. PATH="~/test-bin:$PATH" emacs -Q
3. Start eshell
4. test.sh
5. Observe no such file or directory error
This can be worked around using PATH="$HOME/test-bin:$PATH" or using
shell rather than eshell.

Hi Colton, what you're describing is not the bug in eshell but rather a
bash feature; no other shell will perform expansion on literal tilde in
PATH (you can disable it in Bash using POSIXLY_CORRECT environment
variable). If you drop the quotes then it's going to work as expected
because the shell will expand the tilde to HOME before storing it in PATH:
PATH=~/test-bin:$PATH emacs -Q
Best,
Jakub Ječmínek
