Look at $" to infer where things are getting loaded from. The last time
I read Rails' sources (around 0.8), it was adding many many things to
$:, and a file could be loaded through two different paths.

Something like 1.9's path expansion in $" would also help. If you cannot fix
Rails, it might be possible to work around that issue by redefining
Kernel#require and using File.expand_path...
