It's hard to describe this bug, but the attached patch should help with that.

my tests look fine but I don't know what I could be breaking

Hi! Default tracker-miner-fs.cfg file (re)generation (on first run, config files being deleted, ...) would be broken with this patch, these aliases are precisely there to cope with locale changes and such, what's the problem you're trying to fix?
Comment 3 Tshepang Lekhonkhobe 2010-04-05 16:38:10 UTC 
When I manually put '/home/wena' (IndexRecursiveDirectories) into miner-fs config and click Apply using prefs GUI, that 'home/wena' is transformed into &DOCUMENTS.

Dup of #616548

*** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 616548 ***
Comment 5 Tshepang Lekhonkhobe 2010-05-07 09:59:36 UTC 
To reproduce to this:

1 $ watch grep IndexRecursiveDirectories= ~/.config/tracker/tracker-miner-fs.cfg
2 go to Locations tab of tracker-preferences
3 click (+) button
4 click Home
5 click Apply
6 watch it add "&DOCUMENTS" instead of home dir
Comment 6 Carlos Garnacho 2010-05-19 10:54:42 UTC 
I've changed the configuration saving code in master so $HOME takes precendence over XDG dirs.
