1.8.7p299 seems to have the strangeness:

$ cat inherited.rb
class A
   def self.inherited(subclass)
     puts "A was inherited by #{subclass}"
   end
end

class B < A
   puts "Definition of #{self}"
end

C = Class.new(A) do
   puts "Definition of #{self}"
end

$ ruby -v inherited.rb
ruby 1.8.7 (2010-06-23 patchlevel 299) [x86_64-linux]
A was inherited by B
Definition of B
Definition of #<Class:0x7fa787968d00>
A was inherited by #<Class:0x7fa787968d00>
