Description
The "url" template-tag encodes the tilde (~) character in urls
although it is a legal ("unreserved") URL character since
1995, cf. RFC2396.
RFC2396 (1995): http://www.cs.tut.fi/~jkorpela/rfc/2396/full.html
RFC3986 (2005): http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3986.txt
This causes uglyness in the adressbar when a django app
wants to support the common http://server/~username/ URL-style.
Django should stick to the RFC and only encode characters
that must be encoded.

It does look that you're right.

This is definitely a safe change to make and was already fixed in r12066 (along with a couple of other characters).
Fix to leave tildes alone
