Ok.. I have tracked it down. The problem seems to be located in
Test::Unit.

Try this piece of code

server> expand -t2 tester.rb 
p $0
require 'test/unit'

class Tester < Test::Unit::TestCase
  def test_filename
    p $0  # BOOM
  end
end

require 'test/unit/ui/console/testrunner'
Test::Unit::UI::Console::TestRunner.run(Tester)
server> ruby tester.rb 
"tester.rb"
Loaded suite Tester
Started
"tester.rb\000test_filename(Tester)"
