When building from a build path containing a "~", such as:

  /build/guix-1WL3Dl/guix-1.2.0~rc1/

tests/build-utils.scm and tests/guix-system.sh both fail.

I've observed this with v1.2.0rc1, as well as
c6e8f40f2ce6082171c18b4aad9877b0ad022563.

Building in such a directory revealed two failing tests, which I could
reproduce attempting to run the tests directly from a directory that
such as /home/vagrant/src/guix~tilde/ using "guix environment --pure
guix":

  make -j2 check RES_OPTIONS=attempts:0 AM_SCM_LOG_DRIVER_FLAGS="--brief=no" TESTS="tests/build-utils.scm tests/guix-system.sh"

Running the same tests in /home/vagrant/src/guix-tilde PASSed.

(FWIW, The version is renamed in Debian so that release candidates such
are treated as older versions than the eventual released version
(e.g. 1.2.0rc1 > 1.2.0 > 1.2.0~rc1 for Debian package versions) and it
would be best for Debian to be able to use the ~ in the Debian package
version)
