[bug] Home dir in PS1 not abbreviated to tilde |

Tested in GNU bash, version 3.00.16(1)-release and 4.1.2(1)-release.
Upon login, home dir is displayed as tilde in PS1:
pan@BJ-APN-2 ~$ echo $PS1
\[\033[35m\]\u@\h \w$ \[\033[0m\]
pan@BJ-APN-2 ~$ pwd
/export/home/pan/
After a cd command, which change directory to $HOME (not changed at all),
it is displayed as the complete path:
pan@BJ-APN-2 ~$ cd
pan@BJ-APN-2 /export/home/pan$
The reason is that my home in passwd has a trailing slash:
pan@BJ-APN-2 /export/home/pan$ grep ^$USER: /etc/passwd
pan:x:896:1::/export/home/pan/:/bin/bash
This is tricky to find. I hope it will display tilde even if home dir entry
in passwd has one or more trailing slash.
PS: I read the source code and do not know where this is done, maybe in
y.tab.c?
