ActiveSupport is the culprit. In dependencies.rb, we find:

  class Object #:nodoc:
    def load(file, *extras)
      super(file, *extras)
    rescue Object => exception
      exception.blame_file! file
      raise
    end
  # ...

RubyCocoa works by responding to method_missing and despatching ObjC
messages via ocm_send; once ActiveSupport has had its evil (don't get
me started!) way, this will never happen.

You should be able to use this as a quick workaround:

  OSX::NSBundle.bundleWithPath("...snip...").ocm_send(:load)
