Will the affected users be given a one-time offer to have their accounts renamed, or are they stuck forever with the "~" ones?

Thanks James, personally I'm comforted by your prompt reply.
Happy to help. :-)
My intuition is that this would be unlikely to affect any accounts with more than 5,000 edits, possibly fewer. I have no doubt that you intend to take special care to help users with significant contributions, such as those with a well established contribution history at this level.
Yes, I'll be personally reviewing the renaming list to make sure we can catch any particularly-major issues early.
