First, please don't top-post.

The ~ expansion is not done by libssh2 so I don't think it is related to
libssh2 version at all.

However, the code within libcurl that does the ~ expansion is different for
SCP and SFTP although it isn't at all clear to me WHY this is the case. If you
(can) build your own curl from source, it would be fun to see if you can
modify lib/ssh.c:ssh_getworkingpath() to use the SFTP approach even for SCP
to check if that makes it work for you.
