Thanks.

As far as I can see, sh-mode doesn't really try too hard to be correct
here -- it accepts word constituents, but then adds back -/~._ which it
has defined as punctuation in `sh-mode-syntax-table'.  So perhaps we
should just continue doing that and add @, too, even though that's not
very satisfactory.

So I've now done that in Emacs 29.
