Yes. The problem still exists even after changing TextPad to Notepad.
In fact, I found out the following one-line program shows the same behavior:
C:\> type bug.rb

  ## bug.rb
  puts ARGV

C:\> ruby bug.rb one
one

C:\>ruby bug.rb one*
[BUG] cross-thread violation on rb_gc()
ruby 1.8.5 (2006-08-25) [i386-mswin32]


This application has requested the Runtime to terminate it in an unusual 
way.
Please contact the application's support team for more information.

I get the problem only when I use the wild card. Like this:

   C:\> ruby _tp.rb   tst_rm*.rb

But when I do this everything seems to be fine:

   C:\> dir /b tst_rm*.rb | ruby _tp.rb

It opens all the files listed by the DIR command.

HTH,
