11:59 PM Ruby Bug #10713 (Rejected): Assigning default value for a Hash as an empty Array creating unpredictable results

Creating a Hash with a default value works fine, unless the default value is an empty Array.
E.g. the following returns an empty Hash...
~~~
irb(main):001:0> letters = Hash.new([])
=> {}
irb(main):002:0> letters[:a] << 1
=> [1]... punjab (Arvinder Singh)
