@tom_enebo (on Twitter) fixed this for ERB renderer, but Erubis is still a problem. This breaks Rails 3 on 1.9, so it seems like it ought to be widespread for 1.9 mode. He says he's looking into this and should have a fix to test in the next week or so.

+1

Tom says he hasn't had time to look into this issue, but should soon. I'll post again if and when I hear this issue is ready for some testing.
