Perhaps this is the source of my confusion. Are you saying that:
  my_proc = inst.method( :method_name ).to_proc
is equivalent to:
  my_proc = Proc.new{ inst.call( :method_name ) }
and not (as I had assumed):
  my_proc = inst.method( :method_name ).unbind.turn_into_a_proc

The documentation is somewhat terse on this matter. Method#to_proc
simply says "Returns a Proc object corresponding to this method."
