```ruby
ENV["HOME"]="c:t"
p File.expand_path("~")==Dir.pwd+"/t"
```

prints `true` since 1.9.3, but it should raise an exception

```
$ ./1.8.7/i386-mswin32_120/miniruby -v -e 'ENV["HOME"]="c:t"; p File.expand_path("~")'
ruby 1.8.7 (2014-01-28 patchlevel 376) [i386-mswin32_120]
-e:1:in `expand_path': non-absolute home (ArgumentError)
    from -e:1
```
