Found it... there was an install.rb on my lib path that was being loaded
instead of the real install.rb. The problem may be in rpa/base.rb, line 256:

         begin
             Dir.chdir(destdir){ load "install.rb" }
         rescue Exception
             RPA::Install::AtExitHandler.cancel
             raise
         end

If install.rb is not found in destdir, $LOAD_PATH is searched, and who
knows what it'll find there. It might be better to use
File.expand_path("install.rb") in this case.
