0. emacs -Q
1. C-x d / ~ TAB
   This pops up a *Completions* buffer showing directory names of all
   members of (system-users), e.g. steve/
2. Continuing from step 1, when I type any of 's TAB', 'st TAB', 'ste
   TAB' or 'stev TAB', Emacs responds with [No match], but 'steve TAB'
   completes to steve/

The failure only happens with '/~<partial-name>', typing e.g. '~/Downl
TAB' here completes to ~/Downloads/

I tried debugging but only got as far as completion--some; when stepping
through that after '/~stev TAB' *Messages* shows this:

  Result: (closure ((metadata metadata (category . file) (completion--unquote-requote . t)) (point . 6) (pred . file-exists-p) (table . completion-file-name-table) (string . "/~stev") (n . 1) t) (style) (funcall (nth n (assq style completion-styles-alist)) string table pred point))
   [2 times]
  Result: (substring basic partial-completion emacs22)
  
  Result: (substring basic partial-completion emacs22)

In contrast, with '/~steve TAB':

  Result: (closure ((metadata metadata (category . file) (completion--unquote-requote . t)) (point . 6) (pred . file-exists-p) (table . completion-file-name-table) (string . "~steve") (n . 1) t) (style) (funcall (nth n (assq style completion-styles-alist)) string table pred point))

Doesn't happen here, FWIW.  Strange.

Strange indeed, assuming you tested on GNU/Linux or another POSIX
system, since IIUC on MS-Windows system-users returns only
user-real-login-name (at least it does here on Emacs 25.3 under Windows
8).  I also tested on another GNU/Linux system I have with Emacs 24.3
and see exactly the same behavior I described above.

I see it on both Windows and GNU/Linux.  I notice that the after typing
the first letter of the user name, the leading "/" is no longer in
shadow face, i.e., Emacs is looking for a directory starting with "~"
under the root directory.

What did you type on Windows, exactly?  If I type "C-x d / ~ TAB", I
get a single completion with my user-name, as expected.  How did you
get more than one completion?

Like Eli, I'm surprised you see it on Windows.

Yes, I didn't notice that when I tested before but I do now.

I suppose so, though it's still surprising that it only completes to
/~steve/ when typing /~steve, not /~stev.  Note that (at least here)
'/home/stev TAB' also completes to /home/steve/.

Oh, I skipped the TAB in step 1. With that, all of the leading text
before the ~ is removed, so there is no problem (and it indeed
completes immediately to my current user on Windows).

Ah, so when you hit TAB, the leading "/" is not removed?

Nothing is removed.  To be explicit, when I start with -Q and type 'C-x
d', the minibuffer displays this:

Dired (directory): ~/

with point after '/'.  When I now type '/', the face of '~/' changes to
shadow, and when I then type '~', the face of the second '/' also
changes to shadow.  When I now type TAB, the minibuffer looks like this:

Dired (directory): ~//~

with '~//' in shadow face, and a *Completions* buffer pops up and shows
the directory names of all members of (system-users).  When I now type
's TAB', the face of the second '/' changes from shadow to default
(black), '[No match]' appears after the cursor and the *Completions*
buffer disappears.  I.e., the minibuffer looks like this on hitting TAB:

Dired (directory): ~//~s=E2=96=88[No match]

with '~/' in shadow face and '/~s' in default face, and after a couple
of seconds, '[No match]' disappears, leaving the rest.

Ah, I think I understand why I couldn't reproduce the problem: it
seems to only happen if default-directory is "~/" before starting the
recipe.  If it is something else, the problem doesn't happen.  Can you
confirm?

And I see this in Emacs 26, 25, and 24, so it isn't a new problem.

I'm afraid not:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x cd RET /tmp/ RET
2. C-x d /~s TAB

results in this minibuffer display:

Dired (directory): /tmp//~s=E2=96=88[No match]

with '/tmp/' in shadow face and '/~s' in default face.  Same thing with
any other value of default-directory I've tried.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding what you're suggesting, but with the
following I still get the same behavior:

0. emacs -Q
1. M-x cd RET ~/Downloads/ RET
2. C-x d /~s TAB

results in this minibuffer display:

Dired (directory): ~/Downloads//~s=E2=96=88[No match]

The original recipe was different:

  0. emacs -Q

I did not give, nor have I seen, this recipe in this bug thread.  But I
see now that the recipe of my OP (which lacked the above step 1) could
be understood as consistent with the above.  There is indeed a
difference between

  Dired (directory): ~/~ TAB

or

  Dired (directory): ~/Downloads/~ TAB

on the one hand, and

  Dired (directory): ~//~ TAB

or

  Dired (directory): ~/Downloads//~ TAB

on the other.  But the bug I meant to report is about this:

  Dired (directory): ~//~s TAB

or

  Dired (directory): ~/Downloads//~s TAB

which both get '[No match]', whereas

  Dired (directory): ~//~steve TAB

or

  Dired (directory): ~/Downloads//~steve TAB

both complete, to '~//steve/' and '~/Downloads//steve/', respectively.=20=20

One thing I just noticed: in the latter two case, when I type '/', that
changes the face on '~/' or '~/Downloads/' to shadow, and when I then
type '~', the changes the face of the just typed '/' to shadow, but when
I continue and type 's', then the face of the last '/' returns to
default (but the face of the preceding characters remains shadow), and
stays like that when I add 't', 'e', 'v'; but as soon as I add 'e'
(which make TAB complete successfully), the face of the last '/' changes
back to shadow (and '~steve' keeps default face).
