Tilde completion has never triggered expansion here, and
expand-or-complete is a builtin function rather than a configurable
widget, so this is as expected.  Configuring the _expand
completer is possible.  I think setting the keep-prefix style to false
is enough to trigger expansion with that (unless you've got it
configured only to do substitutions).  We can make a more specific
style if it seems useful.
