file-truename: wrong value for remote tramp files

[D. Goel]

(file-truename "/ssh:address@hidden:~") returns this: 
"/ssh:address@hidden:/~"
.. which is an invalid name, since, for example, find-file cannot load
it.  (This bug breaks an "optional" operation in one of my utilities
        "fetch.el")

This bug was produced on a fairly recent CVS emacs.

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
