Likely, this problem has been overlooked due to the other one you've
explained in the message.

I can confirm that the problem still exists. Simple test:

(ange-ftp-expand-file-name "/ftp.gnu.org:~/")
"/ftp.gnu.org:/"

(ange-ftp-expand-file-name "/ftp.gnu.org:~")
"/ftp.gnu.org:/home/albinus"

The same result with Emacs 21.3 and its companion ange-ftp.
