I'm not sure, but at first glance, this seems like a bug to me. Vim
should not change both "H:\" and "C:\Users\<username>" to "~" when
parsing cdpath.

I assume you are setting this in your vimrc? What does Vim think your
$HOME is immediately before setting cdpath (try adding echo $HOME
immediately before your cdpath command).

I'm adding vim_dev to CC; perhaps someone there can give a more definite
answer.
