Hi, i'm either not understanding your issue or not seeing it on my box:

$: cd /tmp; touch by.touch

$: ruby19 -ve "puts File.basename 'by.touch'"
ruby 1.9.1p0 (2009-01-30) [i386-darwin8.11.1]
by.touch

$: ruby   -ve "puts File.basename 'by.touch'"
ruby 1.8.7 (2008-08-11 patchlevel 72) [i686-darwin8]
by.touch

Scanned over the above but couldn't spot what you might be on about :)
Perhaps you could clarify or wittle the example down a bit further?
