OpenBSD uses the same /usr/bin/mail as NetBSD does.  this bug was
mistakenly reintroduced into OpenBSD 2.9 by one developer.  NetBSD is
not affected by this bug, see /usr/src/usr.bin/mail/collect.c:

    if (linebuf[0] !=3D escape || value("interactive") =3D=3D NULL ||
        lastlong) {

check for interactive mode was removed from OpenBSD (and again added
now after this incident).

you can see:

 http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/mail/collect.c?rev=3D1.2=
0&content-type=3Dtext/x-cvsweb-markup

especially:

  o tilde commands work regardless of interactive mode.

it doesn't work in a script unless -I is used.
