primer@BRAUER.HARVARD.EDU (Jeremy Primer) complains:

[Emacs doesn't expand occurrences of `~' in load-path.  Can
decode_env_path by taught to do this?]

I concur.  Lacking this (either for the time being, or permanently), I
recommend:

	(setq-default load-path (mapcar 'expand-file-name load-path))

in your .emacs.
