It does work:
[~]% cat test.rb
reports = ["yay!"] * 10

puts "<div style=\"float:left;margin-right:2em\">Reports:"
puts "<ol>"
reports.each do |x|
    begin
        puts "<li>" + x.to_s + "</li>"
    rescue
        puts "<li>...</li>"
    end
end
puts "</ol>"
puts "</div>"

[~]% ruby test.rb
<div style="float:left;margin-right:2em">Reports:
<ol>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
<li>yay!</li>
</ol>
</div>

My guess is that your to_s method does 
	puts "yay!" 
*and* raises an exception, instead of just returning yay! (def to_s; "yay!" 
end)
Could you show us the definition of to_s ?
