The former is not how Windows stores the filename but the way Octave
displays it when I type the function path. I would understand an
abbreviation, but if you notice there is a difference after the
abbreviation; the former shows 1.1, the later shows 2.1, which is what I
can't figure out.

It may be explained by the way the tilde expansion "~" works; see
https://www.gnu.org/software/bash/manual/html_node/Tilde-Expansion.html
However, even after reading the manual explanation, it still escapes me.
