As you know, POSIX requires tilde expansion following an an unquoted colon in

tildes in
$ echo foo=~:~
foo=~:~
should not be expanded in POSIX mode, because this is not an assignment. That
was fixed in 5.1-beta. However, that fix also seems to have broken the actual
assignment
$ foo=~:~
$ echo "$foo"
/home/anders:~
where both tildes should be expanded in POSIX mode, because this is an
assignment.
Thanks for the report. I'll take a look and fix whatever is wrong.
