Don't know about that, but I just found a peculiarity in ssh.  If I
ssh from a to b to c, "~." terminates the a-b session which also
terminates the b-c session of course.  Use "~~." instead to first
terminate the b-c session while leaving a-b intact, but immediately
folloing that with "~." to terminate the a-b session does not work; it
gives "command no found" from bash.  You have to give any other
command in betweenm, even ENTER alone, then the "~." will properly
terminate the a-b session.

This might be what you were seeing, if you had just used "~~." to
terminate a nested session.
