It makes the marshal format of Pathname incompatible.

With your patch:
% ./ruby -rpathname -e 'Marshal.dump(Pathname.new("abc"), STDOUT)' >
/tmp/pathname3.marshal

Without your patch:
% ruby -rpathname -e 'p Marshal.load(STDIN)' < /tmp/pathname3.marshal
-e:1:in `load': dump format error (user class) (ArgumentError)
        from -e:1:in `<main>'

Note that I'm planning to rewrite Pathname in C.
