A more involved explanation is available at

In short, the handling of class variables (and constants) when a module 
is extended vs included is not as expected.

Example:

    module Foo
      @@foo = 'foo'
    end

    class Bar
      include Foo
    end

    class Baz
      extend Foo
    end

    Bar.class_variable_get :@@foo # => "foo"
    Baz.singleton_class.class_variable_get :@@foo # => NameError: 
uninitialized class variable @@foo in Class

We would expect constant and class variable lookup on the singleton 
class to work, but it doesn't. Both Rubinius and JRuby seem to behave as 
expected in this case.

Thanks!

Another quick set of observations from this morning:

    class Baz
      class << self
        Const = 'Const'
        @@foo = 'foo'
      end
    end

    Baz.class_variables.inspect # => [:@@foo]
    Baz.singleton_class.class_variables.inspect # => []
    Baz.singleton_class.class_variable_get :@@foo # => 'foo' ???
    Baz.const_get(:Const, false) rescue "Nope." # => 'Nope.'
    Baz.singleton_class.const_get(:Const, false) rescue "Nope." # => 
Const

    # Let's try setting it explicitly.
    Baz.singleton_class.class_variable_set :@@foo, 'foo'
    Baz.singleton_class.class_variables.inspect # => [] -- still "empty"

However, if we extend Foo on Baz, vs opening the singleton class with 
"class << self",  we can class_variable_set on the singleton and see it 
show up in the list of class variables, vs being empty.

All of this is to say that I think some unexpected weirdness is going on 
in rb_include_module and/or include_class_new.
