Comment(by martinlagardette@…):

 I just looked closely: the problem is that our `io.c` does the following:
 {{{
 #!c
     rb_objc_define_module_function(rb_mKernel, "open", rb_f_open, -1);
 }}}
 It defines the "open" method over `rb_mKernel`, which is the super class
 of every object, even NSObject! This is to allow code like:
 {{{
 #!ruby
 open("testfile") do |f|
     print f.gets
 end
 }}}
 This avoids the need to use `IO.open`.

 But this means that we supersede the original "open" from Obj-C, which is
 why our function gets called. I'm not sure yet what action should be
 taken. I'll discuss that with Laurent.
