I don't believe that anyone has brought up the intel Macs as yet, but
I get the same results as the OP on my MacBook:
ruby 1.8.6 (2007-03-13 patchlevel 0) [i686-darwin8.10.2]

x=[0.58, 0.59, 0.63, 0.66, 0.67]
y=1/12.0

x/y
---
6.96
7.08
7.56
7.92
8.04

x.divmod(y)
-----------
[6, 0.08]
[6, 0.00666666666666667]
[6, 0.0466666666666667]
[6, 0.0766666666666667]
[8, 0.00333333333333341]


I've already added this as a comment to the trac report.
