This is by design since ~ is impure, see #6698

Oh I'm sorry, I meant to make this less brutal (see NixOS/nixpkgs#179172 (comment)) but never went around to actually implement it (And I won't be able in the short term either :/)

Anyone willing to pick that up though, it should be easy to just make it return an hardcoded path – the diff of #6698 should give some good hints as to what to change
