Want to see the culprit? Would you believe I tracked it to this:

  class Symbol
    # Same functionality as before, just a touch more efficient.

    def to_s
      @to_s || (@to_s = id2name)
    end
  end

I'm not sure how exactly that could break anything. But somehow it
does. Anyone?

A quick fix, remark out the line in lib/facets.rb (in facets' gem
dir):

  #require 'facets/core/symbol/to_s'
