This seems similar to the behavior when you are SSH'ed into a remote
host and you type a command that starts with '~' (the SSH escape
character).  Until the SSH client sees the next character it doesn't
know whether to process the '~' as a normal input character or to
handle a special local command (e.g. "~." disconnects, "~#" lists
forwarded connections, etc.).

Are you by any chance running a program that behaves this way?
