If the user simply hints return to accept the default filename when invoking 'kdvi-jump-line in Emacs 22. For reasons I don't entirely understand, 'tex-buffer and other command will start failing because the tilde in the filename will be quoted. (Sometimes this doesn't happen. Why exactly that is I'm not sure, but its mostly reproducible.) This behaviour is new to Emacs 22, so perhaps some internals changed, although tex-mode seems to mostly unalterned.

Fortunately, the fix is simple. Simply expand the file name right when it's determined. The following patch fixes the problem. If you'd lie, I'd be happy to check it in, but since it's not my module I didn't want to commit without filing a bug report.
