Bug #4502: strange Module.new behaviour

=begin
First I create a proc:
 p = proc {
   self::X = Class.new
   def self.X
     X.new
   end
 }
Then I create a module:
 A = Module.new(&p)
 puts A.X # => #<A::X:0x9c2e774>
Then I create another module:
 B = Module.new(&p)
 puts B.X # => #<B::X:0x9c39304>
Everything seems to be ok. But after module B was created (({A.X})) started to return instances of (({B::X}))
 puts A.X # => #<B::X:0x9c38238>

When (({self::X.new})) is used instead of (({X.new})) everything works as expected.
