} When using %c (or %.) in your PROMPT you get the literal text "~PWD"

This occurs when the AUTO_NAME_DIRS option is set, because PWD is no
longer a "special" paramter in 3.1.5.  A patch to special-case PWD to
change this has been posted to zsh-workers and may appear in the next
release.

Meanwhile, you can either turn off the AUTO_NAME_DIRS option, or use

	precmd() {
	    unhash -d PWD
	    # ... other commands ...
	}
