Research direction

Start at the ssh.execCommand cwd handling that produces cd '~/server/bin' ; pwd, and inspect how the remote shell interprets the quoted path. Reproduce the example against an SSH server, then verify that a cwd containing ~ reaches the intended directory without the shown bash error.
