Yes, you are right,
pdftex TEST-S~1 works, where TEST-S~1 is the short name of
TEST-Something.tex
But pdftex TEST~T~1 doesn't work, where TEST~T~1 ist the short name
of test~tilde.
Rather confusing. Does pdftex internally first expand the short name
to a long name? This would explain why the "short tilde" doesn't
matter.
