It could just be Rails weirdness. Paste the code where the call
is, if at all possible. In the meanwhile, try this workaround to
see if this is a problem or just something Rails did not expect
you to do:

> def ==(t_obj)
>   @temp == t_obj.convert_to(@units).temp
> end

  def ==(other)
    other and @temp == other.convert_to(@units).temp
  end

Here we fail immediately if other is nil or false.
