 When ruby compile a script (or a string) it store in each node the name of
 the file and the line number. These are these values that it display when it
 print an error.

 Because you have used -e the string 'puts "hello"; raise "out"' was
 compiled with the name '-e' and when it display the error it use this
 name. 

 For example

pigeon% cat b.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
raise "out"
pigeon% 

pigeon% cat c.rb
#!/usr/bin/ruby
require 'b.rb'
pigeon%
 
pigeon% c.rb
./b.rb:2: out (RuntimeError)
        from ./c.rb:2:in `require'
        from ./c.rb:2
pigeon% 

 See the first line with './b.rb' and not './c.rb'
