Bug #6110: #respond_to? returns true on 1.9.3 and false on ruby-head

Under ruby-head, when calling #respond_to? on another object of the same type false is always returned, even though the method can be called. However, this returns true under ruby 1.9.3.

Attached is a test that reproduces the problem.
