I confirm this behavior. I stumbled on something similar on ruby 1.6.7
ms-win32:

require 'scintilla/Constant.rb'
require 'scintilla\Constant.rb'

=> ruby consider those as different require, and declare the constant twice,
which produce warning...

Path should probably be normalized or something like that.

Baptiste.
