As usual, I was wrong.  The /vendor/rails/ is the same version.  My  
partner changed the constant definitions to avoid the warnings:

OUR_CONST = ... unless const_defined? "OUR_CONST"

So, I added a warning statement above those declarations and I see  
that it is indeed executed twice.  While I was in there, I noticed  
that controller is a base controller that at least one other  
controller inherits from.  Testing a theory, I added a warning to an  
uninherited controller and this is what I see in my test output:

...
Loading uninherited controller.
Loading base controller.
Loading base controller.
...

Something is fishy there.  Does Rails munge const_missing() by chance?
