The space between the 's' char and the start of the mailbox name is your
problem. Hitting a space after Mutt gives you a suggested filename causes
the rest of what you type to be appended to the suggestion, whereas just
typing what you want replaces the suggestion. So you want:
macro index "SL" "s~/mail/linux\n"
instead.

If your goal is to have the benefit of edit_headers, but still just type
the To: and Subject: fields, try using 'unset autoedit' and see if you like
the results.
