Subject: case statement variation 1.9.2 vs 1.8.7

I have this case statement:

  case n.hll_normalize
    when "common name"
      @my_correspondent.correspondent_common_name = s
    when "legal name"
      .  .  .
    else
      raise ArgumentError, "#{n} attribute is not provided for."
  end

I pass it this value  for n: "common name"

When run with Ruby-1.8.7p302 this works.  The exact same code run with
Ruby-1.9.2p0 yields:

common name attribute is not provided for. (ArgumentError)

Is this change in behaviour intentional or a bug?  If intentional then
what is the version insensitive way to accomplish the same thing?
