I think you've simply found a bug, which you might want to enter into Trac.  Interestingly, this construct does not work on ruby1.9 either, the error being:

mixedchars.rb:4: invalid multibyte char (US-ASCII)

So you might want to adopt a more Unicode-friendly way of embedding such characters in any case.  How to actually do that is left as an exercise for the reader. ;-)

After loading the latest nightly build I have a new error message generated by the following string:

"#{degrees}° #{minutes}' #{seconds}\""

returns:

incompatible character encodings: US-ASCII and UTF-8

Is there something I can change so that I can use special characters again?
