Diagnosis

In setGOROOTEnvVar > resolvePath > resolveHomeDir, the function resolveHomeDir merely replace the character ~ to $HOME without consulting the /etc/passwd to get the homedir of user:bbb (the directory ~bbb refers to).

Thank you for diagnosis. It sounds like the handling for ~ is ad-hoc, and does not support the ~bbb syntax. This is very unlikely to get fixed any time soon. Sorry.
