I've pushed that as is.  Whether or not tilde forms are expanded are
already configurable --- setting the accept-exact style in the
completer's context would control this.

(Off topic, but I'm not 100% convinced that the REC_EXACT shell option
should have that effect in this completer, as it currently does, since
it's a rather gross and uncontrllable setting that wasn't really
intended for expansion.  But I think all its uses are usurped by the
accept-exact style in the completion system anyway, so probably no big
deal.)

Yes, me too, particularly now Mikael has pointed out ^X*: I'll look
at this separately.
