Subject: If statement and if modifier not equivalent?

I was under the impression that the if modifier and the
if statememt were equivalent, but for the following code
calling A.test raises an exception, while calling A.test2
succeeds. This is with Ruby 1.8.4.

class A
   def A.test
     a if a=1
   end

   def A.test2
     if a=1
       a
     end
   end
end
