Two things ...

(1) the -tilde- context is only applied inside the _tilde completer,
    not inside all completers

(2) but that doesn't matter, because the list of completers is chosen
    by _main_complete before any of the special contexts are set up.

For practical purposes you can only select completers based on the widget
used to invoke completion, not on the invocation context.  It's a chicken
and egg problem, the completers are what parse the line to determine what
the context should be.
