Subject: Odd break behavior?

  Run the code snippet below:

class A
  def outer
    inner do
      break
    end
  end

  def inner
    while true
      yield
    end
    puts "Should never appear"
  end
end

['something'].each do
  A.new.outer
  puts "1"
end

A.new.outer
puts "2"

Then comment out the something each block and rerun it.  The first
run will look like:
1
2

The second run will look like:
Should never appear
2

For consistencies sake, I would have expected the first run to look like:
1
Should never appear
2

By virtue of previously calling outer in a block the second call to outer
now has different behavior (even though to me they look totally unrelated).  
Can someone explain why this is?
