...on the contrary actually; before your fix "ls ~u<TAB>" completed to "ls 
~user " for all users, whereas after the fix it completes to "ls ~user/" for 
users whose home dirs do exist as it should.

On my system ls.exp ends up testing "ls ~avahi-autoipd" and avahi-autoipd's 
home dir does not exist, perhaps that's why it passed.  Maybe the test case 
should be modified so that it checks the existence of the chosen user's home 
dir and if it does exist, expects to see a slash appended to it?
