Subject: ||= with 1.8 and 1.9 ?

A friend of mine on Twitter recently posted this tidbit of code:

class OrOrEquals
  def test
    @test
  end

  def test=(test)
    @test = test
    'not test'
  end
end

p (OrOrEquals.new.test = 'test')
# ruby 1.8 returns 'test'
# ruby 1.9 returns 'test'

p (OrOrEquals.new.test ||= 'test')
# ruby 1.8 returns 'test'
# ruby 1.9 returns 'not test'

It works as indicated. Is this -normal- behavior ?
