No.

Since some months, Tramp supports file name abbreviation. The default
directory of your homedir is "/scp:host:~/", therefore.

dired-make-relative doesn't know this, it believes, abbreviated file
names start with the tilde in the first character of the file name.

I've fixed this in master. Could you, pls, check?

Best regards, Michael.
