The "error" is with the backend. luatex (and pdftex and even tex) do not like filenames with a ~ in it. luatex test\~1.tex tries to compile a file called test.tex! If you want to compile test~1.tex, you need luatex "test\string~1.tex" In ConteXt, a wrapper script mtx-context calls luatex with appropriate settings of format, etc. So, with context test\~1.tex mtx-context will call luatex --fmt=... --lua=.. "test~1.tex" which, as mentioned above, tries to compile test.tex. But you can use the same workaround context "test\\string~1.tex" and the file test~1.tex is correctly compiled. > A simple "yes, can be done" or "no, its a really bad idea" is perfectly enough for me. I don't understand why tex (the engine) ignores ~. I will call it a bug.
