'set history filename ~/foo' is working because following code is doing
same as you described . I have also attached test case for this.

if (arg != NULL)
       {
         /* Clear trailing whitespace of filename.  */
         char *ptr = arg + strlen (arg) - 1;

         while (ptr >= arg && (*ptr == ' ' || *ptr == '\t'))
           ptr--;
         *(ptr + 1) = '\0';

         val = tilde_expand (arg);
       }
     else
       val = xstrdup ("");

     if (*(char **) c->var == NULL
         || strcmp (*(char **) c->var, val) != 0)
       {
         xfree (*(char **) c->var);
         *(char **) c->var = val;

         option_changed = 1;
