Oh, o.k.   CMUCL doesn't, which is why I brought that up:

    cmu> (truename "home:tmp/foo")

    #p"/u/rpw3/tmp/foo"
    cmu> (truename "~/tmp/foo")

    File-error in function TRUENAME:  The file "~/tmp/foo" does not exist.
       [Condition of type KERNEL:SIMPLE-FILE-ERROR]

    Restarts:
      0: [ABORT] Return to Top-Level.
    ...
