That's weird -- can't find an explanation for it, because the following 
works:

require 'binding_of_caller'
this = self
class A
   def m
     Binding.of_caller do |binding|
       eval("this", binding)
     end
   end
end

p A.new.m # => main

Maybe somebody has the knowledge needed to explain what's going on there?
