Subject: Problem when 'loading' a file containing a class derived from a struct

I actually spotted this in a rails app but traced it back to ruby.  Is
this a real problem/bug or am I missing something obvious?

$ cat > person.rb
class Person < Struct.new(:forename, :surname)
end
$ irb
irb> load 'person.rb'
=> true
irb> load 'person.rb'
TypeError: superclass mismatch for class Person
        from ./person.rb:1
        from (irb):2

This behaviour has been experienced with both ruby 1.8.2 and 1.8.4.
