That's not exactly it, although I'm not sure what is.  Consider this
Makefile:

$ cat Makefile.tilde 
all:
        ls > /tmp/.t
        mv /tmp/.t /tmp/t
        mv /tmp/t ~/
        
$ make -f Makefile.tilde
ls > /tmp/.t
mv /tmp/.t /tmp/t
mv /tmp/t ~/
mv: rename /tmp/t to ~/: Not a directory
*** Error code 1
