Thank you, Ricardo, for looking into this.

I have lost signficant amounts of hair trying to find a solution. Adding
texlive-cm-super doesn't help for the document I trying to typeset. In fact, I
even grabbed all texlive packages with fonts and threw them in the
texlive-union to no effect. No matter what, pdflatex bails when trying to find
the font to set $~$.

The only way I have gotten it to typeset under a texlive-union so far is by
munging texlive-amsfonts as Jelle mentioned.
