Comment(by vincent.isambart@…):

 The problem is in variable.c, in rb_const_get_0:
 {{{
     /* Classes are typically pre-loaded by Kernel#framework and imported
 by
      * rb_objc_resolve_const_value(), but it is still useful to keep the
      * dynamic import facility, because someone in the Objective-C world
 may
      * dynamically define classes at runtime (like
 ScriptingBridge.framework).
      */
     {
         Class k = (Class)objc_getClass(rb_id2name(id));
         if (k != NULL)
             return (VALUE)k;
     }
 }}}

 You should keep this, but only return the class if it's not a Ruby class
 because if it's a Ruby class and you did not find it before, it's that
 it's in a different place in the namespace.
