That doesn't mean that it isn't being quoted now, in the function in

It's functionally equivalent to the second one, I believe.

It is! I just rearranged the position for shell-quote-argument. Actually all 3 patches were the same, functionally.

Actually, this comment means the opposite: we would want ~ in the
command line unquoted, but that won't happen because DIR is quoted
later. So we require DIR to be non-abbreviated.

Anyway, let's leave that off until you find a definite case where it's a

I've pushed the other change now in ab3ba91.

Please see if it fixes the problem, and if so, close the bug.

It does fix the bug, thanks!
