Comment(by cyberfox@…):

 Greetings,
 I've gotten Mechanize to work by killing off a few odd pieces.
 Specifically, if I remove the entire {{{pretty_inspect}}} section (I
 killed from the 1.8.4 comment down), and I remove {{{require
 'mechanize/inspect'}}} from {{{mechanize.rb}}} it works a LOT better.

 It still doesn't set {{{mech}}} in new instances, so you have to do that
 by hand.  I.e.
 {{{a = Mechanize.new { |agent| agent.user_agent = "Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh;
 U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203
 Firefox/3.6.13"}
 b = a.get('http://example.com')
 b.mech = a
 c = b.link_with(:text => /text of a link/).href
 d = a.get(c)
 d.mech = a
 puts d.search('td.inf_lab')[1].parent.children[0].content
 puts d.search('td.inf_lab')[1].parent.children[1].content
 }}}

 I'm guessing that the MacRuby failure comes in when it's doing some
 complex code for inherited instance variables, or something like that.

 Still, those changes get me able to use Mechanize, with some minor
 caveats, which is nice...
