Before anything is loaded/required, there is a non-functional Date class.

$ GEM_HOME= GEM_PATH= irb

irb(main):001:0> Date
=> Date
irb(main):002:0> Date.ancestors
=> [Date, Object, Kernel, BasicObject]
irb(main):003:0> Date.instance_methods(false)
=> []

It seems intended.

I have not been able to come up with a workaround that allows removal of Date or provides a working Date class.

Fixed upstream by my commit https://github.com/rubygems/rubygems/pull/948.
And now merged on trunk.
