You just forget to exclude the '~' from the char to convert to space:

$MakePageNamePatterns = array(
    "/'/" => '~',                          # strip single-quotes
    "/[^-~[:alnum:]]+/" => ' ',            # convert non-alnums to spaces
    "/(^\\w)/e" => "strtoupper('$1')",     # initial caps
    "/\\s+/" => '_');                      # Convert spaces to underscores

or better:

$PageNameChars = '-~[:alnum:]';

$MakePageNamePatterns = array(
    "/'/" => '~',                          # strip single-quotes
    "/[^$PageNameChars]+/" => ' ',         # convert non-alnums to spaces
    "/(^\\w)/e" => "strtoupper('$1')",     # initial caps
    "/\\s+/" => '_');                      # Convert spaces to underscores
