Is this the problem?

  a = [1,2,x:3]
  a.tap { |*p,**q| puts "p=#{p.inspect}, q=#{q.inspect}" }
  # prints:   p=[[1, 2, {:x=>3}]], q={}
  # expected: p=[1, 2], q={:x=>3}

as per:

  a = [1,2,x:3]
  def foo(*p,**q) puts "p=#{p.inspect}, q=#{q.inspect}"; end
  foo *a
  # prints: p=[1, 2], q={:x=>3}

?

Note that the same behaviour occurs if the block has a (({**})) parameter.
(Tried on ruby 2.1.0dev (2013-04-24 trunk 40439) [x86_64-linux] )

a = [1, 2, x: 3]
a.tap { |*p, q| a.clear.concat p } #=> [1, 2]

but

a = [1, 2, x: 3]
a.tap { |*p, **q| a.clear.concat p } #=> [[...]]

and also

a = [1, 2]
a.tap { |*p| a.clear.concat p } #=> [[...]]

???
