Like Paul, I'm not able to reproduce the problem. Using a build from
today with "emacs -Q", I apply "C-x C-f /scp::~nosuchuser". I get a
buffer "~nosuchuser" and the message "(New file)", which sounds OK. The
buffer's file name is "/scp:machine:/home/albinus/~nosuchuser", which is
also appropriate.

Yuri, could you pls describe in detail what you've done, and what has
failed?

Best regards, Michael.
