Comment(by dmitry@…):

 Here's the message:

 {{{
 given string `"9"' has unrecognized encoding `x-mac-cyrillic' (7)
 (ArgumentError)
 }}}

 So, CFStringGetFastestEncoding(str) returns kCFStringEncodingMacCyrillic
 for "9".

 I've been able to successfully install MacRuby by setting {{{
 __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING }}} environment variable to 0:0:0 (it was
 0x1F7:0:0).
 Thanks for your help!

 Now, CoreFoundation contains a lot of "External encodings"
 (http://tinyurl.com/cfstringenc), I wonder how to handle them in
 rb_reg_prepare_enc()? I also wonder why there was {{{
 __CF_USER_TEXT_ENCODING }}} environment variable set to MacCyrillic, when
 Terminal preferences clearly state "Unicode (UTF-8)"... Though, this
 question is not for this bug tracker :-)
