I though that this situation would be happen for ANY env with $HOME ending in "/", but it is not the case:

"""
jcea@ubuntu:~$ echo $HOME
/home/jcea
jcea@ubuntu:~$ python

[GCC 4.4.3] on linux2
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import os
>>> os.path.expanduser("~/a")
'/home/jcea/a'


jcea@ubuntu:/home/jcea$ export HOME=/home/jcea/
jcea@ubuntu:/home/jcea$ echo $HOME
/home/jcea/
jcea@ubuntu:/home/jcea$ python

Bradley, would you mind to write a patch & test?
