Ruby process hang in ensure

Description

While playing with mutation testing of my code I've found a weird mutation that hangs Ruby process. The isolated code which triggers this freeze is:

require 'timeout'

puts Process.pid

def raise_before_returning
  raise
  []
end

def doh
  value = raise_before_returning
ensure
  # p value # <-- that unblocks it
  value if nil
end

Timeout.timeout(3) do
  doh
end
  1. Timeout is unnecessary and was added to illustrate that it has no effect to interrupt hanged process.
  2. Process.pid is printed for convenience to kill hanged process.
  3. Printing value in ensure changes behavior, there is no hang when encountering value if nil below.

I've also checked ruby 2.6.0preview3 (2018-11-06 trunk 65578) [x86_64-darwin18] and the problem persists.
