For what it's worth, I cannot reproduce this on Bash 5.0.17 compiled
with musl 1.2.0 or glibc 2.28 on Debian 10, GCC 8.3.0.
musl:
~$ bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.0.17(1)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
...
~$ bash -c 'echo ~nosuchuser'
~nosuchuser
glibc:
bash-5.0$ ldd --version
ldd (Debian GLIBC 2.28-10) 2.28
...
bash-5.0$ ./bash --version
GNU bash, version 5.0.17(2)-release (x86_64-pc-linux-gnu)
...
bash-5.0$ ./bash -c 'echo ~nosuchuser'
~nosuchuser
