Comment(by cyberfox@…):

 Greetings,

 Just to be clear, defining a method with a single colon in it will remove
 ANY last character.

 e.g.
 {{{
 class Y
   define_method(:"method with :colon and ending with non-whitespace") {}
   p instance_methods(false)
 end
 }}}

 outputs

 {{{
 [:"method with :colon and ending with non-whitespac"]
 }}}

 ...which might be considered a more serious bug.

 I've tried defining it with various arities, and they have different
 subtle oddities, e.g.
 {{{
 class XY
   define_method(:"method with :colon and ending with non-whitespace") {
 |*x| puts x}
   p instance_methods(false)
 end
 }}}
 outputs
 {{{
 [:"method with :colon and ending with non-whitespace:", :"method with
 :colon and ending with non-whitespac"]
 }}}

 Hope this info helps!
