Please report this bug: https://github.com/mxcl/homebrew/wiki/Checklist-before-filing-a-new-issue

Also try:
  `brew doctor` to check your setup for common problems.
  `brew missing` to check installed packages for missing deps.

Solved it!
This is caused by an upstream bug that's been fixed but not made it into homebrew or macports yet: beanstalkd/beanstalkd#49
There's an unreleased fix in MacPorts that will probably work in Homebrew too: http://trac.macports.org/ticket/31463

Yup, fixed already--Homebrew now patches Beanstalkd. See Homebrew/legacy-homebrew#6584 (comment)
