When using a path like --dir=~/<package-name> with wp scaffold package, I would expect WP-CLI to resolve this to actually create the folder /home/<user>/<package-name> or any similar platform-specific version of it.
However, WP-CLI actually creates the literal folder '~' and puts everything into that folder.
It should probably use something like realpath() before creating the folders.
