Hi Stephen,

I recently experienced this issue while adding a reference in a beamer  
presentation using org-mode. It isn't elegant, but my workaround was to use  
\sim instead of the tilde character, at least for what is actually  
displayed in the document - you will still need to use tilde for the actual  
URL link.
